Hi!

> Im bored.

I checked with the RSS debugging features (go to your /aggregator/ page, go
to the channel configuration, search the feed in question, click on the XML
icon, select what format you want to see). It looks like the &apos; somehow
just get's lost. The unquote method correctly translates &apos; to ', but it
looks as if it actually doesn't make it through the parser ...

The weird thing: apos is defined in sgmllib, too - and that's what PyDS uses
to parse RSS feeds (as sgmllib is much more forgiving with broken feeds). So
neither sgmllib nor PyDS itself should stomp on those little critters.

bye, Georg
