Carl, This is something that I toyed with about 6 years ago, it was nice in theory and for very small applications it can work great. My main thinking of this was to stop people from stealing my code, however the main hurdle to get over was the fact that this extra load on the server to go and download the apps for every page hit was humongous.
I was happy to see the results for small sites that carry very little traffic, but bigger sites came to a crawl with this method. I like your late thinking on this, but already been looked at an was considered non viable for an entire application but alright for one or two tags.

A security wrapper for you CF apps... now let me explain! if you have ever downloaded an ebook (the .exe ones) most of them are just html docs in a ebook wrapper what about a downloadable wrapper that instead of being a compiled app it actually pulls your web site from the net through the wrapper, which would provide maybe extra security. Let me know what your thoughts are and if anyone has ever done this before?
