That is like saying that gifs and jpgs are the same because they appear the
same in your graphics editor, they just look different when opened in note
pad!

No, they are not.

My point exactly, and once the PostScript file has been interpreted and made
into clearly defined objects it is no longer PostScript!

This again works for me, the CF template is on the server with the CFDUMP in
it, but as soon as CF has finished processing it and hands it to the clients
browser it is no longer CF, it has been converted into HTML and isn't CF any
more, just like the aforementioned PostScript file has been converted into
PDF format and isn't PS any more.

Anyway, this isn't really a CF-Talk discussion anymore so shall we end it
here? (although I am more than happy to continue in CF-Community ;-)
