I think I've found the problem. I've got a stupid number of cleaning routines that everything goes through before it gets to the cffeed tag - mainly because the client does EVERYTHING in MS Word, then paste.
At the end of the "clean" chain, before cffeed I do this: <cfset myStruct.item[currentRow].title = "#xmlformat(request.titlemsclean)#" /> If I REMOVE the xmlformat and just do this: <cfset myStruct.item[currentRow].title = "#request.titlemsclean#" /> All my problems seem to go away.
