 * We noticed an issue with HTML encoded strings showing up in the RSS feed title
   links:
    Top OT recruit Little decommits from Texas A& amp;M (spaces added for
   formatting)
 * They are encoded in the XML such as (with extra space added)
 *     ```
       <item>
       <title>
       <![CDATA[ Top OT recruit Little decommits from Texas A& amp;M ]]>
       </title>
       <description>
       <![CDATA[ Top OT recruit Little decommits from Texas A& amp;M ]]>
       </description>
       ```
   
 * The browser renders the description correctly because its inside a div tag but
   the title links wrapped in the _a_ tag are showing the raw data.
 * Is this a typical use case or something we can get around without a plugin modification?

 * Also looks like this is technically supported by RSS 2.0.1 (Example 4: Encoding
   angle brackets in text within a CDATA section)
