7 years ago @autonome Thanks for opening this issue.
This stripping is being done intentionally -- however, I can't actually remember why. 😬 Presumably, the idea was to avoid handing people a XSS injection foot-gun.
Note that the un-stripped title is available: item['rss:title']['#'].

Eg: ">"
I'm parsing https://groups.google.com/forum/feed/mozilla.dev.platform/topics/rss.xml?num=50
The item titled "Intent to unship: as in image maps" has those entities encoded as < and > respectively.
However, in the code example below, the entities are missing from item.title, as is detectable from the length:
let url = 'https://groups.google.com/forum/feed/mozilla.dev.platform/topics/rss.xml?num=50'; let req = request(url); let feedparser = new FeedParser();
req.on('response', function (res) { this.pipe(feedparser); });
feedparser.on('readable', function() { let item = this.read(); console.log(item.title.length) }
