True to a degree, except that HTML is declared open and applications are encouraged to implement it if they need the functionality.

BD is simply an application that interprets CFML (well, compiles...), but added its own proprietary tags (which is a blanket generalization in this case that includes 'fixing' how certain tags/functions operate) i'm pretty much playing devil's advocate here, as i've never quite understood how New Atlanta could get away with essentially recreating ColdFusion (the application server...not the CFML language)...but assumed that since it's happening, it's all on the up and up. /me moves over to cf-community and waits :) On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 12:27:34 -0500, Calvin Ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't think it is absurd at all, CFML was started and developed by Allaire > and then Macromedia.
