Description
Today I got a comment on my blog and the person who wrote the comment did not completely understand the <a> tag, forgetting to close it. WP did not correct this, leading to a yellow screen because of malformed XML (I serve XHTML with the correct mime type). Even if standard WP installations use text/html and therefore the user won't get parse errors, it is not acceptable that ordinary visitors can screw up a blog's markup, as using text/html as a mime type will probably still show the remaining text of the blog as a link.
