[TYPO3-dev] Empty line at beginning of frontend output = validator fails

[Jelle van Brenk]

Hi Susanne,

I can second Tyler's idea, we had the same problem just a week ago with 
an XML feed not validating because of an empty first line.

This line was added by a php file with an empty line after the ?>

Regards,

Jelle van Brenk
