Ars Technica
A full-content feed: whole articles delivered inside content:encoded rather than a summary and a link.
Full-content feeds are where CDATA sections earn their place — entire HTML documents live inside content:encoded, and escaping them any other way would be unreadable.
It is the best entry in this directory for seeing what a CDATA section is actually for.
