Before I get myself all juiced up for the soapbox - are you talking about outputting 
simple string values as your example shows, or can I stretch the theory to include 
complex display logic and function calls, etc?

For example: one function does a database query, another function calls that function 
and then outputs and displays the query info (including HTML, etc) - all within the 
same CFC. 

Is this what you are implying?

Your CFC will be easier to use if you have a method that does the cfoutput, too.  You 
can still have a method that returns a string, but go ahead and create another method 
to do the cfoutput, too.  Like in my example.

<cfcomponent>
  <cffunction name="OutputHelloWorld">
    <cfoutput>#helloWorld()#</cfoutput>
  </cffunction>

  <cffunction name="HelloWorld"> <!--- keeping the data separate from the display --->
     <cfreturn "Hello, World">
  </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
