Summary:
Invalid feed when "&" is used in the title in e.g. the news module
Detailed Description:
I have created a rss feed for the news module on my site. When I added a news
article with a "&" in the title the feed became non valid and for example the
Live bookmark function in Firefox refused to load the feed.

"Special" characters should probably be rewritten to the equivalent HTML names
in this case &

Just in case you are still looking for a solution - using Smarty this can be
done very easily in the template (and maybe this should be modified in the
sample templates):

Just replace {$event.event_title} ($event.event_title being the variable holding
the text) by {$event.event_title|escape:"html"}

Best,
