Description

The RSS portlet assumed if the description element was present in the feed, it
had contents, which is not always the case. I added a check to make sure the
element had a child text node before assigning its value to "description" and
thus preventing a NullPointerException.

The feed I discovered this is: http://www.thismodernworld.com/index.rdf

The patch is in diff -u format.
