What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to parse an XML file that contains a single quote / apostrophe
within the CDATA, eg
http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/en/6943075/3dayforecast.rss (note the
apostrophe in "St Martin's")
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see the XML parsed properly. Get an error.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Current version, on Ubuntu
Please provide any additional information below.
The attached patch seems to resolve the issue.

I have probably used the term CDATA incorrectly here. The problem is with
apostrophes which occur within elements, but outside of tags. Outside tags only
< and & have special meanings, even > is permitted (though it's probably not a
great idea to use it).
