Description:
------------
I'm using XML_RSS to extract RSS feeds from various sites.

The problem is that with XML_RSS you cannot get the character set of RSS feeds.

Please support something like XML_RSS::getCharset(); to fix this problem.

Well, if the title contains special characters.

Imagine a music news feed that had Björk in either the title or description for example.

At the moment, that is coming out of XML_RSS in a bit of a mess... it would be nice to have it escaped, or the charset announced so that we could handle it appropriately.

In fact such a patch has been in CVS for a long time, but it was never released. I'll try to get out a new release of XML_RSS as soon as possible.
