This bug has been fixed. The smiley icon on the bottom left-hand side denotes valid/invalid XML. Straw is really tolerant on these things mainly because there are really a lot of bad RSS/RDFs out there. I guess converting "&" to "&amp"s should be the job of blog engines or blog-to-rss converters out there. For the meantime, I will close this bug since the original bug has already been fixed. cheers.

Sure, it SHOULD be, that doesn't mean people actually will do it :)

If there is an ampersand in a title, the title cuts off from the apersand on.
