This is to resolve the problem that we can generate markdown with named entities like ` `. These are valid in XHTML's DTD but because entities aren't namespaced they aren't valid in Atom documents, even within the XHTML namespace. The fix is to switch to the RSS style double-escaped HTML type for `<content>` blocks Another approach would be to used numeric entities instead, but since we allow users to type HTML entities we'd have to replace them too. That's a pretty large change for such a small problem. As a side effect of this approach, this means we also have to get rid of the "[23 comments]" label on Link's feed items because the double-escaping breaks the StringTemplate replacement
