I should quit while I'm ahead, but ... this is much ado about nothing. "Core language" is a huge pandora's box in and of itself, and if the CFML committee would release the work that was done before it totally stalled out, you'd probably be surprised at the limited subset of CFML that the committee agreed up on as "core." Typically people will pick an engine on a project-by-project basis, or if they're writing something that will run on all three engines, it isn't that hard. Mach-II runs on all three engines with no modifications, as does a rather complex app like Mura CMS. And again if you saw what the CFML committee considers to be core to the language, as long as people write to that core, the code will run anywhere. It's really not a huge concern. Bottom line, yes, Adobe CF is the standard. Has been and always will be. But OpenBD is about so much more than "me too," so we add functionality that makes sense to us where we see fit but always have an eye on compatibility.

Not really, it's just a display thing IMO. I personally don't ever use the expand/collapse stuff anyway so I had no idea it wasn't there until you mentioned it.
