While the app_model is cool and we're using it here (obviously since we're
in the same office).  I think its a bit overkill and a carefully thought out
custom app_layout.cfm with the bodycontent tag, (and few other nifty tags
like cf_htmlhead give you just about everything you'd get with app_model.cfm
and possibly less overhead.  (not that we've got an issue with that as it
does run pretty darn quick.)

I'm not saying the app_model way is wrong, it does work and works well.  I
just don't feel the added ability to append headers and prepend footers
really buys me enough to make it worth while, and if I need that
functionality its just a couple of extra lines added to my customized
app_layout.cfm.
