when I tag a new item "CDATA" and "XML" are created. I looked into the code and found

protected function build_xml_content($title, $body, $date) {
$req = "";
$req .= "";
$req .= "$date";
$req .= "";
$req .= "";
return $req;
}

when removed the CDATA tag from this function, everything worked ok and I received the same results I received using http://viewer.opencalais.com/

Do we really need this tag as we strip tags before building the xml for the webserver?
