<title> element in post is not parsed correctly

Description

If you put '<title>' somewhere in your post, Wordpress will not escape the '<' and '>' and a HTML title element is inserted in the post. This results in a post that stops where the title element is inserted (at least in Firefox).

The correct behaviour would be that '<' and '>' would be parsed into '&gt;' etc.

Why would you want to put a title element in the post? If it is for the purpose of displaying code, wouldn't you rather put it within <code></code> tags?

Please review and close the bug if you find this to be an appropriate response.
