Description
some similar to #2584
Django works only with utf8 codepage in Syndication feeds (RSS and Atom) (and maybe much more others places).
In django/contrib/syndication/feeds.py hardcode defined utf-8 codepage in .decode('utf-8') conversions everywhere.
Better to move this option out to settings.py as RSSATOM_CODEPAGE or try to extract this data from DEFAULT_CHARSET

I'm not convinced this is needed. Every XML parser is required to be able to understand UTF-8 and Python has excellent support for encoding data into UTF-8. I'm not sure what benefits any extra configuration brings us.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
So the suggestion is to enable a user selected charset for RSS feeds? is it really that common to not want UTF-8?
