Description
I have some data which comes from log files that I'd like to put into a RSS feed, unfortunately due to the nature of this data it sometimes contains control characters e.g. \0001 \0003 , this causes it to fail RSS feed reader validation due to these characters (although valid utf-8) are not allowed [1].
I'm not sure if this is something that should be fixed in this module, perhaps in sax/saxutils or in somewhere like django.utils.encoding force_text ?
At the moment I'm working around this issue with a regex which replaces this range of chars.
