I know you weren't looking for answers, but have a look at this:
<cfset one = "000" />
<cfset two = "0000" />
<cfif DE(one) EQ DE(two)>
yes
<cfelse>
no
</cfif>
Change them to be the same and it result in yes being displayed.

Subject: [ cf-dev ] When two different strings are the same
An unfortunate result of not having numerics and strings in CF:
<cfset tenzeros="0000000000">
<cfset elevenzeros="00000000000">
<cfif tenzeros eq elevenzeros>These two strings are not the same, but this
code thinks they are.</cfif>
Don't ask why I did this, I can work round it, but just a little quirk I
thought I'd share.
Paolo
