Accessing the applications on a given server
Is there a way - thru maybe an undocumented feature? - to access the different application scopes that may be running on a single instance of CFMX at the server level?

Sending an attached file with a unique name
I'm sending an attached pdf via cfmail/cfmailpart to a recipient. Right now, I'm naming the files in storage via uuid. I'd like to send the file along with a friendlier name (e.g. your_file.pdf). Is this possible without copying/renaming the file?

CFDOCUMENT & repeating table headers
Hi all: I'd like to display a multi-page report that repeats the table headers in PDF format. Is this possible? I've played around with & and beyond simple headers & footers, it seems pretty difficult. The behavior looks like its perceiving each ITEM as it's own markup?

CSV HELL
Hi all: I'm writing a little function that parses a CSV file into a query (I know this has been done before, but I need it to specifically handle Excel csv exports). Here's the snag: Whenever Excel sees a comma or a quote in one of the cells, it wraps it in quotes. If it doesn't find either, it doesn't. So for example, here's a row: This is red, "This is sorta ""red""", "This is blue, really" Now, the above is 3 columns in Excel. The 2nd column has quotes around 'red' so Excel wraps the whole thing in quotes and escapes the quotes around the word red by doubling them. This is relatively easy to handle. The doosy is the third column. Excel found a comma so it wrapped it in quotes (which is fine). The problem is, listgetat and other list functions are pretty useless to me because it thinks a fourth column exists (containing: really"). I'm guessing I can probably go down some sort of regular _expression_ hell to do this, but is there an easier way?

WDDX Insanity
I have a wddx that I'm trying to turn back into a CFML structure. The wddx looks fine. It CFDUMP's nicely as well. But whenever I try to turn it back to CFML, I get: WDDX packet parse error at line 1, column 1. The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.

Dealing with option XML elements
I'm writing a cfc rss parser that parses the various formats of RSS and
spits back out a complex data structure. One of the things I'm grappling
with is the use of optional RSS elements and how to best code the parser to
handle those. For example, I stumbled on the Slickdeals RSS feed
(http://www.slickdeals.net/rss.php) which doesn't bother putting
descriptions in the items.
Now, I know I can use structkeyfind against the XML object or isDefined and
just rely on a bunch of if statements ("If the description is there, then
grab it"), but this seems inefficient.
Is there a better way to deal with XML elements/attributes that may or may
not be there?

Homesite & namespaced custom tags
I'm a big fan of Homesite and I like to use the tag to reference custom tag libraries. I know Homesite has VTML support so you can create code hints for custom tags, but I can't get it to work with namespaced custom tags. For example, if I have a custom tag called cache, I can create a corresponding VTML for HS if I use cf_cache, but I'm unable to do so if I want to reference the tag as . I know DW 2004 allows this, but I have other issues w/ DW 2004. Is there a way to make this work in HS? Is there another code editor that would work well in this situation?
