Personally I'd rather see stronger CFC and less CSS or perhaps just stronger CFC. For 99% of the companies I have done work for they had designers who made all the CSS, graphics, etc then had the CFM people come in and work the magic to make it all dynamic. So with that being the case knowing CSS well enough to do cross browser tableless layouts certainly was a perk for the CFM people but it was far from needed since they never had to write it just work with already written ones.
I also think you should list HTML, I used to always think if you know CFM then you must know HTML but discovered I was very wrong in making that assumption. I have worked at least one place where the entire CFM team knew next to know HTML and came down to the fact they knew their RAD tool that was CFM based and knew had to write the CFM to work with it but almost never had to whip out HTML. Probably all boils down to what type of things you are building and what type of environments they are always being used in.
