I too have just started seeing this problem in my rss feeds, and its
always preceded by this when they are initially read
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
nnrss: http://www.sharons.org.uk/?feed=rss2: Not valid XML (error XML:
(Well-Formed) Invalid character) and w3-parse doesn't work
(void-function w3-parse-buffer) 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm using the lisp stanza from http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusRss
under the heading of "Atom feeds".

Is there any solution please?

Thanks
Sharon.
