empty spaces when using $this->element

I have noticed that when I put something like this:

<div id="sidecontent"><? echo $this->element('tag_list');?></div>

in my default layout, with this in tag_list.ctp:

<div class="taglist"></div>

the result is that there is a textnode before the beginning of the
element, so that when i look at the source in ie7, it shows "[]", the
square representing an unknown symbol i think. This is of course
annoying with css and layout. How can I remedy this? Or am i missing
something and this is normal?
