I would agree with you for a regular cfc, but here we are referring to
a webservice and the docs expicitly say
Note: All arguments are required when invoked as a web service,
irrespective of how they are defined.
So I dont quite know why this would be the case. Clearly you need to
define vars and defaults and check for existance thats standard, but
why does a webservice behave differently.
