LFS News rss feed problem
Ok so a few moments ago the LFS News highlights on the main page stopped working. It appears the rss feed where it gets its data from also did no longer load in my browser.
After removing the latest news post from the feed, it worked again.
But looking at the source of the last news post in the feed, I don't see anything wrong! So I'm posting about it here, to see if anyone has any clues.

The xml of the latest news post is this :

<title>Important: pre-qualifying starting saturday the 19th!</title>
<link>http://www.lfsworld.net/?win=news&nid=529</link>
<description>With almost 100 signups for our second season we have decided to run a pre-qualifiying system. This means you have 4 days to put in your fastest lap on our server.<br /><br />There are no lap or car restrictions. This means you can qualify in all 3 cars, your fastest time will count in the end. The server stats will be reset tomorrow (saturday 19th) @ 15.00 UTC, from this moment everyone has 4 days to put in their fastest time. The server stats will close tuesday the 22th @ 20.00 UTC.<br /><br />It's not allowed to gain any unfair advantage while doing your laps on our server. If we find out any suspicious activities you will be banned for the remainder of this season.</description>

The news feed is this : http://www.lfsworld.net/feeds.php?type=news
The feed will probably not load in your browser, because I've included the latest news item again.

Well, if you have any suggestions on what's wrong with the latest news item (the first in the xml), please let me know, because I've no clue!
There appear to be some invisible characters before and after the word "their", in the sentence "from this moment everyone has 4 days to put in their fastest time."

If you run the text from your forum post, it'll check OK, but if you run the feed page source, it'll error. Column 438 is the character preceeding "their". You can even use the left and right keyboard buttons and there will be an "extra" tap that doesn't move the cursor.
