wp_kses() fails to allow HTML time tag

[henry.wright]

The <time> tag gets stripped even when I try to use it as an allowed HTML element in wp_kses(). For example:

function my_strip_tags( $content, $comment ) {
    
    $allowed_html = array(
        'time' => array(
            'datetime' => array()
        )
    );
    
    $content = wp_kses( $content, $allowed_html );
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'comment_text', 'my_strip_tags', 10, 2 );

If you check the value of $content directly before and after the call to wp_kses(), I think you will find the value is modified as expected.
