Feeds are *XML* documents, and generally most named *HTML* entities
are not valid in XML documents. The feed should be published in a
character set such as UTF-8 that supports characters like ö without
having to convert them to HTML entities. If not, it should convert
those characters to numeric entities rather than named entities.
(&#xF6; or &#246; instead of &ouml;).
