I might be misreading you, but this doesn't seem right. Application.cfm only gets called for every HTTP request, not for every file processed by the server during that request. I do agree that it's probably not best to use it for headers and OnRequestEnd.cfm as a footer, though. It seems to be one of the first "hints", even in good CF books, regarding these tags, and it's not a great idea. For me, I use index.cfm as a gateway to every page in my app, and it starts with a DOCTYPE and ends with </html>. It's the bare template for every actual HTML page that gets generated. Any output in Application.cfm or OnRequestEnd.cfm would be outside the document - not good!
