I'm finding it difficult to test stuff on the validator at the moment. 
Sometimes I'll get a warning for a particular test case, but when I add a 
second test case to the feed, the first warning magically disappears and the 
feed is marked as valid.

For example, each of the following test cases is flagged with a warning when 
tested individually:

http://www.xn--8ws00zhy3a.com/tests/rss/titleencoding/25.rss
http://www.xn--8ws00zhy3a.com/tests/rss/titleencoding/26.rss
http://www.xn--8ws00zhy3a.com/tests/rss/titleencoding/27.rss

But if I include them together with another test case that doesn't produce a 
warning, the aggregate feed is considered perfectly valid:

http://www.xn--8ws00zhy3a.com/tests/rss/titleencoding/25_28.rss

Perhaps that is intentional, but it seems very odd to me and makes things 
difficult to test.
