When someone mentions ColdFusion architecture, I don't think about the browser. The browser is just the recipient of the information.

When I think of architecture, I think of layers, starting with a solid foundation. In this case, it's Java. At its core, ColdFusion relies on the JVM and the Java framework, so I would mention details about that.

Then I would mention its integrated services (graphics[like charting], Flash, Verity, etc.), and its APIs for integrating .NET, Java, Flash, CORBA, C++, etc.

I think both Satya and Samaru are correct. When we talk about coldfusion application architecture/ web architecture, we go with what Satya is saying.
And when we talk about Coldfusion Server, we go with what Samaru is saying.
It all depends in the context.
