You can access these services in three totally different ways. 1.) As a Cold Fusion Component from the same server. 2.) As a web service through standard soap 3.) As a propietary format they use to communicate with Flash MX. ie. Flash Remoting. This format is a streamlined binary format with alot less overhead then the standard CFC's I think there is an advantage to having a standard interchangeable format, my biggest complaint is just don't make it human readable, and then you will save the nasty overhead of xml.
