Chris, Thanks for the reply. I guess my gut feeling was the same. Looking at it from the CFML programmer perspective I agree with your comments and would prefer the root context approach as well. Looking at it from the hoster perspective their I'd like to use web standards as much as possible. So that is why I was wondering which method would be most preferable. Now to see if I can provide both as you mentioned.
