parsing ill-formed rss

Rate this Message:
I'm using ROME to parse generated RSS feeds, but of course many RSS
feeds are ill-formed XML and cause conforming XML parsers to fail. (An example of the actual ill-formed RSS feed I'm getting is found below.) Does anyone have experience using a "loose parser" that is forgiving to ill-formed XML. I know the kind of "loose rules" I would like to apply but I don't want to have to implement my own parser or stream filter -- I'd prefer to use a loose parser that lets me hook in some specific behavior. Anyone done this before? Part of the feed I'm parsing looks like this: ... <item> <title>D;< ugggh..

I tried the tag soup parser but I got the same issues.
I wrote an RssFixerReader that allows me to register tag names that I expect might have bad data. I wrap the Rss input reader with this fixer whenever I am parsing the feed that I expect to be ill-formed. It's a pretty simple state machine but fairly tailored to my problem.
