 This code in function get_the_category_rss():

 {{{
 if ( 'atom' == $type )
         $the_list .= "<category scheme='$home' term='$category->cat_name'
 />";
 }}}

 Will cause an invalid atom feed if the category name contains a single
 quote (as in "Otto's category"). The cat_name needs to be passed through
 htmlentities (probably) to handle the quotes and other special characters.
