 Replying to [comment:10 achmafooma]:
 > To me, this is definitely a bug either in how WP parses functions.php
 files or in how WP generates the XML for RSS / XML-RPC. A blank line in
 functions.php (even if this is incorrect/improper) should not inexplicably
 put a blank line on top of WP-generated XML and break RSS / XML-RPC!

 No, it's how PHP works.  Lines outside of closing PHP tags are printed.
 As the active theme's functions.php file is always included, the extra
 line is always printed, causing the error.
