Subject: International Characters in RSS feed.
The RSS generator does not encode international characters, resulting in non-valid XML.

This bug needs to rely on #6478.

Can you send me an example of some text that doesn't get encoded correctly, please? Or a URL where I can see for myself. (kake@earth.li)

The problem is not that the characters are wrong, but that the encoding for the RSS feed is set differently than the underlying content. If the encoding of the database is UTF-8, and the webserver is set to deliver a content-type of UTF-8, there will most likely not be any issues with this input/output. Currently, RSS feeds are always created with an encoding of UTF-8, I'm going to track back the best way to modify that behavior for people who don't have the option of running utf-8 databases.
