How Very Odd

this observation, i'm not looking assistance.

i have reuseable form, made included file. general idea is:

<cfset some_variable="some value">
<cfoutput>
<cfinclude file form>

in form, if
<cfinput type="submit" value="#some_variable#">
then button labelled value of variable, expected.

but, if this:
<input type="submit" value="#some_variable#">
then button gets labelled string literal, #some_variable#.

i find odd.

it because first 1 cfinput , process cfml.

the other html element , not process cfml without putting
<cfoutput> tags around it, this:

<input type="submit" value="<cfoutput>#some_variable#</cfoutput>">
