 A couple days ago I accidentally broke all my feeds and XMLRPC by
 introducing a newline in my theme's functions.php file. This caused a
 newline before the xml declaration in the generated XML which breaks XML
 parsers.

 It got me thinking if there was a way to ignore the output from an
 included file that should never generate any output. What if the include
 was wrapped in this?

 {{{
 ob_start()
 include(STYLESHEETPATH . '/functions.php');
 ob_end_clean()
 }}}

 If anyone thinks is a good idea I can make a patch.
