[CFML] re: fleche

I was under the impression that the lunge as we do it now was a rather 'new'
inovation in fencing. Doesn't that leave the use of advances and cross-steps
as the older primary method of attack? The cross-step with enthusiasim being
a fleche?
And a question: on the ending of a fleche, does the rear-now-front foot land
still 90 deg. to the other foot, or does it rotate to point at the opponent?
I've been shown both. It seems hip discomfort is less and point control
better with leaving the foot 90 deg. for me.
