 Custom queries can generate invalid RSS due to unsanitised Description
 node. In my case, I had an '&' in the title of my main wiki page and I
 belive this was carried through to the Descrition RSS element, which
 caused the RSS to be invalid.

 I may be wrong about the origin of the Description element as I have
 changed the title and it has not helped the RSS feeds, although I expect
 this is some kind of caching.

 Surely all data should be sanitised (eg. convert '&' to '&') before
 being used in an RSS feed?
