Well, that's a kind of pain that fact that our language needs something more
than pure ascii and we fight with it in computers since they were created
long time ago. 

I finally got time to take a look what is happening. The first thing is good
- you are not chaning anything that has been received from RSS feed. But
what's wrong - you are explicitly telling that HTML page (at my.theinfo.org)
is in 8859-1 coding, and that's where it goes wrong. 

This is of course interesting - our feed is in Windows-1250 (Sort of Latin-2
and very close to 8859-2). But what if i subscribe to feed in Big Chinese?
When listed in one page (at my.theinfo.org) together, that would make big
mess :(

How that can be solved? Anyone?
