#377080: Dealing with HTML encoded characters in feeds looks like there are still issues with HTML character encoding. What about the use of _feedapi_process_text() ?

Related issues

#332941: FeedAPI is not putting clean html markup into db
#175389: encoding problems

I file this as critical because it's a recurring issue and we should get on top of this for the next release.

Okay, the most important thing is missing from these threads: the problem is with simplepie parser. I could reproduce the issue with simplepie, but with common syndication parser, everything is fine.
Now i'm fixing this is simplepie as well.

I found the issue, core feedapi only did the text sanitizing if the allowed all html is turned off.
