If the tag is just returning a variable into the calling template you could
do something like this:
<cf_zerooutput>
<cf_mycustomtag>
</cf_zerooutput>
And in zerooutput.cfm:
<cfif thistag.executionmode eq "end">
<cfset thistag.generatedcontent = "">
</cfif>
This will clean up a lot of white space. Useful if you have a lot of
looping, etc.
