@@ -43,3 +43,10 @@ For Atom, at least, I believe adding `type=&quot;xhtml&quot;` to the title element will wo
 &gt;&gt; have &quot;more&quot; apply to the front page of the blog. Is there a way to do that?

+&gt;&gt;&gt; To be clear, the RSS spec sucks to such an extent that, as far as
+&gt;&gt;&gt; I know, there is no sort of title escaping that will work in all 
+&gt;&gt;&gt; RSS consumers. Titles are currently escaped in the way 
+&gt;&gt;&gt; that tends to break the fewest according to what I&#39;ve read.
+&gt;&gt;&gt; If you&#39;re unlucky enough to 
+&gt;&gt;&gt; have a &quot;&amp;&quot; or &quot;&lt;&quot; in your **name**, then you may still run into 
+&gt;&gt;&gt; problems with how that is escaped in rss feeds. --&#91;&#91;Joey&#93;&#93;
