 Example Feed:[[BR]]
 http://el-tramo.be/feed/ [[BR]]

 Error:[[BR]]
 XML Parsing Error: undefined entity[[BR]]
 Location: http://el-tramo.be/feed/ [[BR]]
 Line Number 12, Column 25:      <description>Remko Tron&ccedil;on's
 Homepage</description>

 The owner of this blog has put the ç ( &ccedil; ) character into his blog
 literally, and wordpress is not cleaning it properly.[[BR]]
 I see that in functions-formatting.php line 795:[[BR]]
 '&Ccedil;' => '&#199;',[[BR]]

 However, this function (ent2ncr) is not getting called during feed
 generation.[[BR]]
 Unfortunately, this function may not be able to be adapted to simple parse
 RSS feeds, and allowed RSS named entities are:[[BR]]
 &lt; for <,[[BR]]
 &amp; for &,[[BR]]
 &gt; for >,[[BR]]
 ' for &apos;,[[BR]]
 and &quot; for ".[[BR]]

 However, all of those entities are being transformed into their numerical
 equivalent ( '&quot;' => '&#34;', '&amp;' => '&#38;', etc. ) with this
 function as well.[[BR]]
