		<description><![CDATA[I have been using the Razor engine for a few days now, and I am liking it a lot. I noticed one big problem right from the start, all strings are HTML encoded. For our uses, this becomes quite an annoying &#8220;feature&#8221; when we deal with JSON strings. For example, given a simple JSON string, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had the &#8220;luck&#8221; recently in having been in an environment where serious micromanagement was occurring. From this experience, I find that micromanagement not only demoralizes the entire development team, but it also puts the project at risk of failure.
