tracker issue : CF-4116755

Problem Description:  Extra whitespace is being added at the leading hash tag when a user defined function is used.  Note that built in functions do not exhibit this behavior, nor does the use of UDFs outside the cfxml or cfsavecontent tags (other tags that generate/store content between their start and end tags may also be affected)

Steps to Reproduce:  Run the following code to see extraneous whitespace added to the attribute values where the UDF is used:

<cffunction name="echo" returntype="string">
	<cfargument name="value" required="true" />
	<cfreturn arguments.value />
</cffunction>
<cfset myVar = "this" />
<cfset myOtherVar = "snow#echo('flake')#" />
<cfxml variable="test"><cfoutput>
	<mytag
		attrOne="ok"
		attrtwo="#myvar#"
		attrthree="#myvar#ok"
		attrfour="#echo(myvar)#"
		attrfive="dog#echo('house')#"
		attrsix="d#'og' & echo('house')#"
		attrseven="rain#trim(' bow')#"
		attreight="#myOtherVar#"
	/></cfoutput>
</cfxml>
<cfdump var="#toString(test)#" /><br>
<cfsavecontent variable="test2"><cfoutput>
	<mytag
		attrOne="ok"
		attrtwo="#myvar#"
		attrthree="#myvar#ok"
		attrfour="#echo(myvar)#"
		attrfive="dog#echo('house')#"
		attrsix="d#'og' & echo('house')#"
		attrseven="rain#trim(' bow')#"
		attreight="#myOtherVar#"
	/></cfoutput>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfdump var="#test2#" />

Actual Result: the values for the attributes attrfour, attrfive, and attrsix all have a whitespace char in them located at the position of the first hash tag ment to evaluate the UDF:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mytag attrOne="ok"
attreight="snowflake"
attrfive="dog house"
attrfour=" this"
attrseven="rainbow"
attrsix="d oghouse"
attrthree="thisok"
attrtwo="this" /> 

Expected Result: The inline rendering of variables should not include any whitespace as none is included in the variables themselves or added by the UDF

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mytag attrOne="ok"
attreight="snowflake"
attrfive="doghouse"
attrfour="this"
attrseven="rainbow"
attrsix="doghouse"
attrthree="thisok"
attrtwo="this" /> 

Any Workarounds: as can be seen in the example "myOtherVar" is generated with the UDF, but does not receive the extra white space because it was generated outside the cfxml tag.  This is the only workaround to guarantee white space is not incorrectly added at the leading hash tag
