Take your point about established meanings, Sean, but in the context of http applications, the session/app/server scopes do allow data in them to persist between requests (just as filesystems/databases allow persistence between reboots/memory cycling) so isn't it understandable that we CFers refer to them as such? "Shared" is fine for server and application scopes, but I wouldn't really consider "session" data as being shared (except maybe in the case of frames).
