Thanks to everyone and for their comments. What I was seeing were several blank lines at the top of my rendered page - lines that I could not account for in the html code. After scratching my head for a few days, it occurred to me that the number of blank lines being rendered were the same number of lines as my <% taglib %>'s - in this case seven lines. Opening up the compiled JSP I found where it was putting seven out.write() statements. I know the browser should ignore successive white space like this, but in my case it wasn't (this is an IE 6 browser).
We're running Tomcat 5.0.18 and J2SDK 1.4.2.
