An RSS feed with invalid XML data

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

If the RSS20 feed contains invalid data (as does, ironically enough, the
monologue feed in a couple of posts), the System.Xml.XmlStreamReader.Read()
function called (eventually) by reader.ReadElementContentAsString() throws an
exception which is propagated all the way to the application using the library,
which means that all of the feed has to be discarded.
It would be better if only the data in the post were discarded and the rest of
the feed could be used as usual.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Load an RSS20 feed with invalid XML data
Actual Results:  
An XmlException is propagated all the way to the application

Expected Results:  
The item with invalid data should be discarded (or maybe even only the part
with the invalid data) and the rest of the feed should be read as normal (as
long as it's possible)

This is the stack trace, just for completeness:
