I tend to do the following: If well-formed get escaped html as a string, tidy escaped html. If escaped html is well-formed save escaped html body in same element it was gotten from, if not well-formed strip escaped html tags save resultant string to element it was gotten from. Send the whole to intermediary xslt which can output a single newsfeed format, as my architecture handles variant rss flavors, as well as other newsfeed formats. The whole rss thing really pisses me off because of the FUD that using escaped markup is in some way a sound design decision because it makes it easier for users.
