.Net compatibility was not a theory it was picked up from previous conversations. Look for some of the comments left when there was a discussion of MXUnit's Eclipse Plugin working with OpenBD. And while I did not respond back to the list, my bad, I did forward this on to our private list to discuss the ability/feasibility to have an optional attribute added to cfcomponent to help with WSDL compatibility; as you've mentioned this has been brought up multiple tims.
