Yes i can - sice there is still <META http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> in html and it seems that Unicode
is really used, it still goes badly wrong - most characters are wrong. Or
there is something wrong with converting "Windows-1250" to Unicode (which
one are you using UTF-8? UTF?).

Well, i am used of presenting news feed from one source as "separate" entity
- mostly inside of table (with border) so it can be seen - it would be good
to be able to "collapse" feed from one source (sort of minimize/maxime).
