Comment (by claudep):
#20197 is similar but targets XML serialization with `dumpdata`. I just
added a patch in that ticket to loudly fail instead of silently producing
invalid XML. Automatic sanitation is tricky, because depending on the use
case, you might want to remove the offending chars, replace them with some
alternative coding, or simply fix the source.
The patch for #20197 also affects RSS production, as the same
`django.utils.xmlutils.SimplerXMLGenerator` is used. If it gets committed,
we might want to add a similar admonition in syndication docs.
