Here is the code I use on a Squishdot server containing french text (with 
accents) which works fine:

-----------------------------------------------
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/rdf')"><?xml 
version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE rss PUBLIC "-//Netscape Communications//DTD RSS 0.91//EN"
     "http://my.netscape.com/publish/formats/rss-0.91.dtd" >
<rss version="0.91">
   <channel>
     <title><dtml-var "striptags(rss_title)" ></title>
     <language>fr</language>
     <link><dtml-var site_url></link>
     <description><dtml-var "striptags(rss_description)"></description>
.....
   </channel>
</rss>
--------------------------------------------------

I believe an important point is to have the first line containing the 
<dtml-call> and the <?xml> tags, without a line brake. This is used on a 
2.1.6 server with Squishdot 0.3.2.
