The only problem is that in order to do this, since client variables are stored in a database or the registry. For every single page request CF would have to do a database query or read the registry and build that structure. That's a big performance hit. Perhaps if they made it an optional thing in the CF admin, like the Disable global client variable updates option, then i'd think it is a good idea. The problem is that would confuse the API a bit, the docs would all have to have a little *, so people would know to check to see if that option was enabled... I usually just store a wddx packet as the client variable, then it's only one line of code to turn the client variable I'm after into a nice struct.
