Comment (by jsmoriss):

 An example HTML entity fix that passes the W3C validator without using
 CDATA is:

 {{{
 add_filter( 'get_wp_title_rss', 'fix_document_title_for_rss' );

 function fix_document_title_for_rss( $itle ) {

     return ent2ncr( $title );
 }
 }}}

 The get_wp_title_rss() function could be modified to apply ent2ncr() on
 all results from the 'get_wp_title_rss' filter - for example:


 {{{
 return ent2ncr( apply_filters( 'get_wp_title_rss',
 wp_get_document_title(), $deprecated ) );
 }}}


 js.
