Have the original engineers specifically confirmed that? There are quite a few things in CFML that are there 'by accident' just because of the way something was implemented in the compiler. Perhaps JJ implemented comment parsing in such a way that this just happened to work without even realizing that comments embedded in tags were allowed. CF developers wrote such code 'by accident' (because the engine allowed it, rather than because they explicitly thought "Oh, I want to put a comment inside my tag!"). Perhaps such behavior then had to be added to the Java version because existing code already had that behavior. > Even with your worldy experience Sean, just because you don't like > something doesn't mean it's a bug.
