Research direction
Reproduce the report with the example app at feeder.scripting.com/returnjson using the Feedland feed at data.feedland.org/feeds/davewiner.xml. Compare item descriptions from feeds that do and do not contain the added
tags and escaped newlines, then trace the reallysimple feed parsing path. Done means the parser returns consistent descriptions without unwanted markup or escape sequences.

Description
When using reallysimple to display my Feedland linkblog feed, I noticed that <p> tags and \n were being added to the item descriptions. This doesn't happen in all feeds. Neither I nor AI could figure why (though I can easily strip them out just for linkblog feeds, so it's not holding me up).
Example: http://data.feedland.org/feeds/davewiner.xml, the first item's description does not include the tags
The example app for reallysimple adds the tags https://feeder.scripting.com/returnjson?feedurl=http://data.feedland.org/feeds/davewiner.xml
