<img> Problems

[Baz]

I tried reading your feed with the nightly planet, no problems. I also
took a look at feedparser to see if it had ever had a problem like the
one I mentioned; it seems it may have done, back in early 2004 -
http://diveintomark.org/projects/feed_parser/version_271.html (thats
before it reached sf.net's cvs, but older versions than that floating
about the net

So: planet doesn't mangle your feed on my machine, but does on planet
glug - is it possible that somehow an *extremely* old copy of
feedparser has got in there? Or is just an extremely old copy of
planet? (the arch revisions go back almost as far as this bug)

Here's what you get with a real old feedparser I found at
http://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/pub/file/CPSRSS/trunk/feedparser.py?rev=13190:
> python
>>> import feedparser
>>> d = feedparser.parse("http://beerandspeech.org/index.php?/feeds/index.rss2")
>>> d['items'][1]
{'date': 'Mon, 20 Feb 2006 22:00:00 +0000', 'guid':

'content_encoded': '\n    Every now and then you see a piece of

'title': 'I found this amazing...'}

Notice how the double quotes in there - which were also encoded - have
been decoded, but the numeric entities havent. Looks suspicious to me.
