The reason you might want to avoid doing this is simply that, by putting these things in Application.cfm and OnRequestEnd.cfm, they'd be output in every page whether you want them or not. For example, if you want to use CFCONTENT to push a non-HTML file or generated non-HTML text to the browser, you wouldn't want your DTDs and footers in there. In general, it's usually a good idea to only place server-side code in these files for this reason.
