html entities should not appear in rss2 title

[anonymousbugger]

If a html-entity appears in the title, the xml file is broken.

so an entity sould be decoded and encoded as utf8

echo utf8_encode(html_entity_decode($title));

instead of echo $title;

in wp-includes/feed-functions.php line 12

will fix this problem

seams only a workaround and will create new problems, while using special chars in title.

utf8_encode -- Encodes an ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8. A lot of people don't use ISO-8859.

This is happening to my comments feed whenever I trackback my own site. Other trackbacks come in just fine, but my own trackbacks turn the comments feed into one big XML Parse error.
