Eric,
My message was vague because I wanted to leave the topic wide-open, but
now I see that it was too vague.  I appreciate your response, but the
requirement on me is beyond supporting user-specified styles.  I need to
let users create their own pages that somehow make use of my CFML code. 
Two possibilities are (1) users create plain HTML pages containing forms
whose actions are CFML templates, or (2) the CFML code is made into a
library of building blocks that users can piece together.
