Theoretically, the attributes scope is only available in custom tags.
  However, if in the application.cfm you create a variable like this:

<cfset attributes.myvar = "myvalue">

  I am not sure how ColdFusion reacts.  I suspect you are creating a 
structure in the variables scope with the name attributes and a single key 
called myvar. (in CFMX, at least).   In previous versions of ColdFusion, I 
suspect you are creating a simple value in the variables scope where the 
name of the variable contains a period.
