Ah, I see what you're saying... So, if you needed the doctype to be the first line in the file, for instance, then it would make sense to suppress any whitespace beforehand. I also didn't know that the cfapp tag would output a line of whitespace. BTW, I'm looking at the fusebox index.cfm file (FB4) - the doctype is not the next line. But this all makes more sense to me now.
Thanks!
