[fw-general] Zend Feed Rss XML and Entities for special chars

[iosonogio]

Hello,
I'm using Zend_Feed saveXml()  to save a file with a RSS feed.

My feed source contains some special characters ISO-8859-1, that I do
convert to html entities before  creating the feed:



$title=htmlentities($a['title'], ENT_QUOTES, "ISO-8859-1");  

before: 
 [title] => test special chars  àèéìòù

after:
 [title] => test special chars 
àèéìòù


Now I get the RSS feed ok, but I cannot have this XML saved with entities
without a declaration like this at the top of the RSS XML itself:

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
        <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
...
]>

I have seen other RSS feeds using this declaration at the top.


On the other hand if I do not convert the special chars into entities I get
this error:

DOMDocument::saveXML(): output conversion failed due to conv error, bytes
0xE0 0xE8 0xE9 0xEC


So, which is the right way to do?
Any ideas?

Thank you much.
