I used to get bitten an awful lot by doing:

<dtml-if>
   <dtml-var standard_html_header>
<dtml-else>
   <dtml-var other_header>
</dtml-if>

This would cause the spaces to appear _before_ the header information
and actually just come up with error messages.
Took me some very frustrating hours to realise I just had to get rid
of the spaces and format things really badly to fix it.
