Thank you very much for your patch, it resolves this issue with
org-feed.el like expected. I tested your patch with the two feeds
http://www.openscreencast.de/blog/rss.xml (declared utf-8)
and
http://pod.drs.ch/world_music_special_mpx.xml (not declared utf-8)
described more by me earlier and a dozen other feeds, all with
character encoding utf-8.
