Well, see, this is kind of interesting. CF (and dbWeb for that matter)
had this tag-based model, but MS explicitly moved away from that with
ASP 1.0 because they wanted to push their existing languages -
VBScript was intended to make things easy for existing VB developers.
Over time, of course, both ASP.NET and J2EE solutions embraced tags to
a significant extent, demonstrating that CF was right all along.

People have thought of CF that way for years, but it keeps on keeping on.
