Typically it is for compatibility reasons. If i recall ColdFusion's return is less fun to play with from the .Net side. Since the history for BlueDragon includes some .Net drudgery I would assume that is the reasoning in there. Perhaps we could setup a switch to change compatibility on that one, I am honestly not sure how hard that change would be, I will look into it.
