Going back to you original question, contrary to Azadi's and Matt's answers,
you can do this. I am not sure this is better then the replacement technique
that has already been worked out, but in the names of fairness and
completeness. You could have done something like this.
<cfoutput query="FAQ">
<div class="FAQAnswer">
#Evaluate(DE(FAQ.Answer))#
</div>
</cfoutput>
It requires a combination of the de() 'delay evaluate' and evaluate() functions
to get ColdFusion to render variables contained inside of string variables. No
guarantees on how robust this solution is, but it is technically possible.
