that'll depend alot on what version you're using.

<cfsilent>
<cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="Yes">
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="Yes">

judicious use of cf comments

probably the best way is to avoid things that'll cause unnecessary
whitespace.

there's your problem right there.  move the call to the stored proc outside
the output of your xml.
