How about something more abstracted:
...alt0{background-color: #fff;}
...alt0{background-color: #ffc;}
<cfscript>
function setRowClass(cr) {
return "alt#cr MOD 2#";
}
</cfscript>
class="#setRowClass(currentRow)#"
A bit more typing on the one occurrence, but in the end you've more control
over all elements of the logic across the site (since you can make the UDF
available everywhere).
Just some more thoughts...

Take this block:
...alt0{background-color: #fff;}
...alt0{background-color: #ffc;}
class="alt#currentRow MOD 2#"
And this block:
bgcolor="<cfif currentRow MOD 2>##ffffff<cfelse>##ffffcc</cfif>"
Once you use it twice, the former is less typing overall(119 vs 129
chars), and that savings only increases per use (at 10 uses it's 350
to 640). Not to mention the savings if you need to change the color
for some reason. So "quick and dirty" is really an argument against
inlining your colors. I will readily admit that the savings (in terms
of typing) is small enough to be ignored, but my point is more that
it's not a reason for doing things the bad old way either.
cheers,
