 Replying to [comment:25 stevenkword]:
 > This might be a case where the naming conventions don't quite make
 sense.  Both Atom and RSS feeds use the same `the_title_rss()` method in
 their respective templates.  The only difference being that the Atom
 template wraps the output in CDATA ,which would be unnecessary, but not
 problematic after this change.

 > Ideally, since both templates use XML (the export component too), naming
 the method `the_title_xml()` would have been more appropriate.  While we
 do have the ability to add unit tests for Atom as of 4.5, I think the
 tests proposed in this ticket cover those test cases.  As a future part of
 adding test coverage for feeds, I would like to add a new `common.php` to
 `/tests/feed/` to help make things more obvious.

 Because the functionality is different isn't this even more reason to add
 unit tests for Atom?

 Also looking and `the_title_rss()` is also used in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/4.5/src/wp-
 admin/includes/export.php#L426 src/wp-admin/includes/export.php#L426],
 sadly there are zero export unit tests at the moment, there is a patch
 adding export unit tests in #22435 but they are dependant on the new
 Export API enhancements in that ticket.
