 I believe what @peaceablewhale is saying is that the filters applied to
 the `the_title_rss` include methods for escaping HTML.  If an additional
 filter was added to `the_title_rss` that also escaped the disallowed XML
 characters, there would be no reason to strip the tags.

 `<h1>`  would be disallowed in XML, but `<h1>` is both valid and "plain
 text"
