The RSS feeds HTML encode everything, making it impossible to claim bloglines feeds.

Bloglines requires you to insert a comment in the body, such as <!-- ukey="0E856F61" -->, to verify ownership of a feed. However, this code appears as &lt;!-- ckey=&quot;0E856F61&quot; --&gt; in the RSS feed, making it impossible to claim my feeds without drastic hacks to the Drupal system.

I am using full HTML instead of filtered HTML on the node. I do not see an option to disable this HTML encoding.

I can confirm this problem. Im using Drupal 5.6 and also contemplate for rss.

Another effect is that it makes ampersands in titles to &amp;amp; meaning it actually encodes it twice.

Any solution to this?

Also found a solution by un-restricting the HTML that the feed parser can accept. I imagine there is a way to allow characters that begin with & rather than just opening it up to all HTML.

Closing my own issue. I think this is too limited of an issue, and bloglines.com is far less relevant now.
