Posts with double-quote in title cause malformed XML

[thetorpedodog]

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up your blog to send as application/xhtml+xml, for instance with WP Content Negotiator.

2. Ensure that there is a comments_popup_link present on your homepage.

3. Write a post featuring a "double quote" somewhere in the title.

4. Go to your blog homepage.

5. In Mozilla/Firefox: Yellow Screen of Death, whatever happens happens in Opera

Fix

line 315, wp-includes/comment-functions.php

CHANGE:

		echo ' title="' . sprintf( __('Comment on %s'), $post->post_title ) .'">';

TO:

		echo ' title="' . apply_filters('the_title',sprintf( __('Comment on %s'), $post->post_title )) .'">';

Oops, didn't mean to change version.
