Proposed fix for NewRSSPortlet

[Eric Wittle]

I tried using the NewRSSPortlet to point to the RSS feed from my blog. 
The description tag in the RSS field from the blog contains escaped HTML 
markup, which (based on my brief research) should be legal in RSS 0.92. 
The NewRSSPortlet as distributed in jetspeed 1.5 passes the escaped 
markup on to the browser, so the user sees the HTML tags.

The solution is to unescape the HTML. The way I've done this so far is 
to swap out commons-lang-1.0.jar for commons-lang-2.0.jar and use 
StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml(). If there is a less disruptive way of 
doing this, please let me know.

I'd like to know:
1) Does this seem like a generally useful fix?
2) What documentation/testing/etc. should I provide, and to whom, to get 
this into the Jetspeed core?

Thanks,

P.S. I'm working with Jetspeed in Eclipse. Is there any interest in 
clearing up the ~600 warnings that get displayed in the Problems tab? 
I'd be happy to take a swing at this if people think it would be useful.
