I'm investigating the source. However, it seems like the news items are
inlined inside index.php. Factoring them out would present major
architectural changes.

Description:
------------
The news items on PHP.net often are sloppily written, with improper
encodings and unencoded ampersands. Perhaps you guys should get
HTMLTidy to give HTML code a sanity check before allowing it to be
submitted. This is even more important for RSS, because one stray
ampersand can break the whole feed.
