For example, Brett run this test and discovered that Railo passed the

i read that as saying Railo failed the most, as we all unofficially
accept ColdFusion is the standard.
So out of 140 tests, Railo differed (40 differences) from the "standard"
the most, where as OpenBD only differed in 15.
We have to be very careful how we interpret and setup such tests.
While this is interesting ... but let me pose something here to get the
discussions flowing.
Do we really need a tight standard?
In whose interests is it to adhere to? Yes we could build the most
"standardised" engine out there, but it's of no use if the others don't
implement the same. So is it really a standard then?
The vast majority of people in my experience, rarely move engines once
development has started, and the only people that really seem to care
are the ones building the standard frameworks. Of course they want
life to be easier so they can only create one version.
Yes all the engines strive to match each other as close as possible, but
to the CFML developer on the frontline, has it really lost you any money
at the moment __NOT__ having a true tag-4-tag function-4-function
compatibility?
