Bug#242020: www.debian.org: security/dsa-long.en.rdf has HTML markup in tag

[Mario Lang]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I just added http://www.debian.org/security/dsa-long.en.rdf to my RSS
feed aggregator and realized that it does behave strangely.
AIUI, the description tag is not supposed to contain ordinary HTML markup
in RSS 1.0.  Since it is ment as a teaser anyway, and interested people
are supposed to follow the link (thats the rss design), I think it would
not hurt to be more standards compliant and simply strip well-known
HTML constructs.
