TinyMCE or News module bug for XML/RSS?

[perl4ever]

Perhaps this "bug" has already been addressed?  I think it might be in the WYSIWYG module TinyMCE.

I created a News item.  Somehow, a non-breakable space (ampersand-nbsp sequence) is getting added to the text that I entered.  I think that TinyMCE translates some of the whitespace into that non-breakable space.

Well, XML/RSS breaks unless those ampersands get escaped...

So, I wonder where such escaping should take place ... because what if someone manually creates mark-up with those ampersands?  It is too early in the morning and I've not had my coffee, yet: I cannot think of the process of protecting the XML/RSS "feed" feature of the News module, but I know it is there, somewhere, in a translation/fix role... perhaps before things get databased?

Anyone have ideas?

Yeah, I think the best place for this is when it's saved to the database.  Articles shouldn't really have nbsp;s in them anyway, especially if they're supposd to be available for RSS.
