The issue is that CF is essentially a "private" programming language, with Adobe as the "owner", so companies like New Atlanta can't really play a role in the development of the language...they have to take their own paths where they feel it is necessary. It will not be until CF becomes an "open" language, with an RFC process, etc., that some form of unification can occur.
