Should ColdFusion <cfoutput> tags be placed inside other tags?

Personally, I would choose example A as it is cleaner to read.  Also, if I needed to populate multiple attributes of the <img> or other HTML tag, wrapping each individual attributes value in <cfoutput> tags would be silly.

However, it really depends on personal taste and the context of the situation.  If possible, I try to avoid peppering a page with opening and closing <cfoutput> tags and instead wrap as much display code as possible in a single <cfoutput>.  Also, if you are outputting the contents of a query in a loop-like fashion ( <cfoutput query=""> ), then I'd only have one <cfoutput> tag (unless I was using the grouping feature of cfoutput, in which case I'd have nested <cfoutput> tags).
