Comment:
OK, I spent a really long time looking into this. As the test in [8632]
shows, Django *does* do the right thing when presented with characters to
be escaped; the problem comes when you're writing a template.
In those cases, I think you just need to use `safe`/`escape` explicitly --
there's almost no way to make Django do the right thing both for RSS and
Atom. Perhaps at some point in the future when the syndication framework
is a bit more flexible... or when we drop RSS support... but for now this
has to be wontfix -- anything we can possibly do can fail in different
circumstances, and at least the current behavior is predictable, though
dumb.
