Well there's no rule to deal with them. Shrook 1.x treats everything as  
 HTML (not exactly by design), so the 'tag' will be stripped. Shrook 2  
(coming soon, ladies and gentleman) will display the tag, but still  
treat the body as escaped HTML. Somehow both are consistent with the  
forthcoming guideline, sigh:

(Off topic: All that's needed to fix this issue in RSS is finally  
stating that title is text and desc is HTML. That seems to be the  
intention of the spec)
