Changes (by ptvguy):

  * milestone:  => 2.0.4

Comment:

 Displays fine in 2.0.4, but still messed up on feed.

 Goes out in ATOM as follows:
 {{{
 <title type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Test blog ; &#038; ” ‘
 ; < > ! special chars]]></title>
 }}}

 and in RSS2, it causes this error:
 {{{
 XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
 Location: http://localhost/wordpress/?feed=rss2
 Line Number 17, Column 36:              <title>Test blog ; &#038; ” ‘
 ; < > ! special chars</title>
 }}}

 due to this titling:
 {{{
 <title>Test blog ; &#038; ” ‘ ; < > ! special chars</title>
 }}}
