This is only true if you use TYPE="REQUEST" or TYPE="VALIDATION" within your
CFERROR tag. If you use TYPE="EXCEPTION", your CFERROR page can have
whatever CFML code you like within it. You can also use whatever code you
like within your site-wide error handler page.

It's a good idea not to do anything too complex in there, though, as you may
cause an error within your error handler, which defeats the purpose of an
error handler - the end user would see the regular CF error page.
