Hi

I suspect that it's not a problem with UTF-8 but rather the fact
that the rss namespace isn't the main namespace and this is causing
problems for non-RDF parsers (most of them).

For example this:

  <rss:item
    rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/QA/2003/01/News2002#x20020828a">

  <rss:title>
    Publication of the updated Specification Guidelines (part
    of the QA Framework)
  </rss:title>
  
  <rss:link>http://www.w3.org/QA/2003/01/News2002#x20020828a</rss:link>

  http://www.w3.org/QA/Overview.rss

Would be better written like this:

  <item
    rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/QA/2003/01/News2002#x20020828a">

  <title>
    Publication of the updated Specification Guidelines (part
    of the QA Framework)
  </title>
  
  <link>http://www.w3.org/QA/2003/01/News2002#x20020828a</link>

Of course the namespace decleration would also need changing.

Hope this helps
