  The <description> element is designed to contain plain text ONLY. When
  the content of your items contains anything other than plain text i.e.
  HTML or XHTML the <content:encoded> element should be used.

Hmm, there was a request to change it to "encoded" and the mentioned page sounded reasonable to me. I will happily change it to the "correct" format, if you provide _authoritative_ information that we can trust. "It works in XY-reader" does not count. :)

Thanks, Kay
