Pete, you are right concerning <cfscript> but I can't see the limitations regarding UDFs.
A UDF pre se is meant to be self-contained and therefore not relying on anything outside it's own scope. Wouldn't the use of shared data inside a UDF be defeating this purpose? You could read a shared scope variable into a local variable and get that into the UDF do what ever you do and than return a new value, write that value into your shared data.
