Really? I suspect you use unquoted attributes all the time, at least with
one tag. I know I do. For example, ra

IMHO it's simply logic:
the purpose of # delimiter is to specify that an _expression_ inside should be evaluated
when it is not implied by context.
Inside a CFIF, the content cannot be something else, then # are just useless.
Furthermore, I would think
idence that there isn't in MX.
It's purely a stylistic issue as far as I can see, important to people, not
the machine. No different (but no less important to some) than indenting
"properly", for example.

no one had really figured out appropriate usage for them yet.

I have no idea why, as far as I know it don't actually cause any

We've all said it a million times - don't use the hashes inside a CF tag that
processes on its own.
But one thing I've always wondered is why. I know doing this is wrong from
years of seeing people scream at developers who do it, but I never heard an
explanation as to what problems this causes
