yesnoformat("") will return "no"

The description says "zero values" are "No", but an empty string might not be considered a "zero value" despite the fact that it the function returns "No" for such a value.

You are correct. We will correct the description in the next release.

Using a statement with thisVar containing only 1 or 0 such as:
<cfset attributes.thisVar = YesNoFormat(attributes.thisVar)>
<cfoutput>#attributes.thisVar#</cfoutput>
Does not return Yes or No in the cfoutput. It only returns the original value of 1 or 0. Is there any documentation on this?

I am using a query set trying to convert a bit field to yes or no. Sorry about the confusion.
