Summary	0009415: HTML entities in issue description break RSS well-formedness
Description	If you use [oacute] entity (ó ó) in issue description (or probably any other HTML entity that's not an XML entity), the RSS becomes ill-formed.
Additional Information	The problem is that mantis passes entities through and that's illegal for documents (like RSS) without DOCTYPE that defines all such entities. It should follow XML encoding rules instead and not pass named entities through.
Tags	No tags attached.
