Just want to add, under every occurence of people asking to remove content:encoded tags, the problem has been found to be improperly encoded html breaking the feeds

I want everyone to please consider dropping rss2blog. If they are a company that does not want to conform to rss 2.0 specifications then this is a problem company, Specifications are setup for a reason. RSS is a serious problem "protocol" for sake of a better term.

As it is unclear as to who the originators are, and whatnot, everyone is trying to control it, and breaking defined protocol specs to do so because of their own beliefs.

These companies are only going to bring more problems to the table for the future of RSS, if they are not going to support the specified specs, then its like breaking the rules of anything in existence based on a sole persons interpretation.(ANARCHY) (i.e. I killed him and it was ok because he looked at me funny)...

Whether or not the future will hold for <content:encoded> is a plausable concern, but should be addressed via versioning, but so far nothing indicates it's a problem or bad solution, only a few badly coded rss feeds (I had the same problem learning to code rss feeders just recently)
