I agree with JEff, at least in part. If we aren't going to actually move
our fusebox "Attributes" to the genuine attributes scope, then why not just
have a scope of our own? Is that such an unbelievable thing? In all
honesty we're already doing it at the moment by "faking" the attributes
scope. Why make our own acronym'd scope, like "fba" or whatever, and use
that. Might also save a little confusion.
The other side to this is that obviously it means we now have form and url
variables in a seperate scope to any attributes passed in when custom tag
calls are made.
I'm just playing devils advocate here, but from both these sides there has
to be an elegant and functional way to solve the whole thing...

Does using <cfset attributes = StructNew()> actually cause genuine
attributes
(i.e., values passed to the app as a custom tag) to be included in the
structure as well? If not, I still suggest we deprecate the use of the
Fusebox
"attributes" pseudo-scope/structure and use a structure named, say, "fba"
(whatever; but take the opportunity to make it short) in order to clarify
the
difference between the genuine Attributes scope and the Fusebox structure.
For sake of clarity, formurl2attributes should become formurlattr2fba (or
whatever) so there's clear delineation between valid apps using
formurl2attributes (which won't need to be changed) and new apps using the
new
structure.
