Actually, Dave, I think you misread him, and Jason, tell me if I'm wrong.
Jason was saying that if you do:
<CF_Foo/>, CF never sets the ThisTag.GeneratedContent variable. It does,
however, correctly run foo twice and correctly sets ThisTag.ExecutionMode,
but it never sets GeneratedContent. Does XML work this way? Ie, does XML
consider a 'shortcut' tag like this to not have any output? Otherwise, this
may be a real bug.
