I have this exact issue. Loads of RSS 2.0 feeds are not being detected. Oddly, an old version of my RSS notifier built with some unknown older version of this library seems to work fine. Investigating.

Reverting to v1.0.0-beta2 fixes my issue. I'm not wasting my time trying to figure out if that is the last version that works or not, I just know that it is a version that works.

the issue has been fixed in d5ae839 and is on master, but hasn't been released by semver (cc: @mmcdole v1.1.1 maybe?).

that said, the safest approach would be to not assume the input to be utf-8 all the time, and pass a reader that's capable of handling bom encodings & various charsets instead (for ex.: golang.org/x/net/hmtl/charset.NewReader & dimchansky/utfbom)
