Besides, wrapping the whole CFC file in <cfsilent> will not have any effect
on whitespace output. That is because it is being used only in the context
of the CFC definition--not the execution of its methods. Those are two
distinct things. If you wanted to use <cfsilent> in a component, you would
really want to use it inside the individual methods:
<cffunction name="method1">
<cfsilent>
... DO SOME STUFF HERE ...
</cfsilent>
</cffunction>
The thing is though, that you would really only need to do this if you
specify output="true" for the method or don't specify anything at all.
Specifying output="false" does the same thing as cfsilent--even if you use
<cfoutput> inside the method.
