Test/demo RSS document

After some testing, I've discovered that this has *nothing* to do with dates in
the feed! The cause (or at least *a* cause) of the issue appears to be somehow
unexpected characters in the GUID field of an RSS feed item.
I've personally experienced this when a URL is used as the GUID, and that URL
includes a non-ASCII hyphen or such. I see EN DASH (U+2013) quite often.

Add the attached RSS document as a feed:
1. Fetch feed -> The bugged item appears as normal in Akregator.
2. Quit Akregator
3. Re-open Akregator -> The feed and items appear normal
4. Fetch feed -> A *duplicate* of the bugged item shows up, with the date "
01:00" (may vary by timezone?) - including the leading space.
5. Quit Akregator
6. Re-open Akregator -> The bugged item appears just once in the feed, but at
the top of the list with a date of: "2106-02-07 07:28" (always the same, but
may vary by timezone?)
7. Goto #4

Deleting the item/s from the feed will just restart the process the next time
Akregator is restarted, and the feed is fetched.

FYI:
Akregator Version 1.6.6
Using KDE Development Platform 4.8.4 (4.8.4)
