Actually, the monkey patch solution sort of sucks. It turns off ALL escaping, not just turning off utf to entities escaping.
So this is fine: <dc:description>māori</dc:description> but this is not: <dc:description><p>āēīōū</p> <p> </p></dc:description> The html tags SHOULD be escaped, while the unicode characters shouldn't be. My work around will simply be to strip out the embedded HTML, but this a problem that people should be aware of when using the monkey patch.
