[ciapug] RSS - Text formating in <description> tag?

[Claus]

Hello

Currently I'm playing around with RSS (version 2.0) and try to create 
some content.  With the item I use the <title>, <link> and <description> 
tags.  I was wondering if any formating of the text inside of the 
<description> tag exists.  I haven't found any discussion about it and 
the specifications don't mention anything about it either 
(http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss#roadmap).

My guess no formating is allowed, but if it where I'd be interested in 
carrage returns (<br> or <p></p>) and bold (<b></b>).  While RSS 
validators (http://rss.scripting.com/ and 
http://feeds.archive.org/validator/) don't like the <p> and <b> tags the 
SharpReader handles it as desired.
