Doh! That's true! Only need to explicitly rollback for example if there
is something else inside of the transaction tags that is NOT a db query
and hence won't necessarily exit the transaction automatically e.g.

<cftransaction>
        ...DB Queries

        <cf_chargecreditcard>
        <cfif chargeError>
                <cftransaction action="rollback"/>
        </cfif> 
</cftransaction>

...but...this was not what the original question was so I'll shut up
now!

There's no need to have a CFTRY/CFCATCH just to rollback, either - if
any
query fails, the entire transaction will rollback automatically. You
only
need to use ACTION="COMMIT" or ACTION="ROLLBACK" within a CFTRANSACTION
tag
if you want a partial commit or rollback.

<cftransaction
isolation="a_level_that_will_be_safe_for_your_transaction">
        <cfloop>
        ... DB inserts here ...
        </cfloop>
</cftransaction>
