Atom item titles containing HTML don't get decoded

Description

WordPress? atom feeds are encoded as HTML so that the smart quotes are entities. In the feed XML they look like: 

<title type="html"><![CDATA[&#8216;If it&#8217;s written on a sweater then I&#8217;d better not do it&#8217;]]></title>

This doesn't get decoded before being put into an sfFeedItem so when output again it gets encoded again showing the entities in the feed.

CDATA nodes should not be decoded in any way. "Within a CDATA section, only the CDEnd string is recognized as markup, so that left angle brackets and ampersands may occur in their literal form; they need not (and cannot) be escaped using "&lt;" and "&amp;"." WordPress? needs to either html escape their data or use CDATA, not both.
