I am currently doing some work with CF MX 6.1 and was

More information here:

Article describes a method for generating UUIDs for use as CFTOKEN values. It is also intimated that the code for generating standard (non-UUID) CFTOKEN values has changed in the MX release.

Seems it would be worth taking a new look at these standard CFTOKEN values from an MX install to see if they still follow the pattern indicated in Amit's paper.
