The syntax of FORM["blah.blah.blah"] would create something
hierarchically that lookslike this......

FORM
    blah.blah.blah

I think someone said that in previous versions of CF it would
literally create the hierarchy - as in......

FORM
    blah
         blah
             blah

When you start using "blah.blah.blah" the biggest confusion you can
get into is that in CFMX 6.1 it WONT create the hierarchy (it is just
a literal key).

In the case of the FORM scope (being created as the result of a FORM
submission) you are not likely to ever create a hierarchy of
structures.  But in something like Session or Application scope you
would/could.

Does that make sense ?
