I don't think you have to worry about this. If I recall correctly,
ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY works like parentheses; you need one "NO" for each
preceding "YES" to actually turn it off. Here's what the CF Studio docs say
about it:
"When nesting CFSETTING tags, you must match each ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY="Yes"
setting with an ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY="No" setting for ordinary HTML text to be
visible to a user. For example, if you have five ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY="Yes "
statements, you must also have five corresponding ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY="No "
statements for HTML text to be displayed again.
If at any point the output of plain HTML is enabled (no matter how many
ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY="No" statements have been processed) the first
ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY="YES " statement will block output."

Well, with enough psychiatric help, you'll get over this.
Just kidding. Some of my best friends use Perl.
