Tags should be stripped from <title /> element

[rq]

If one creates a tagged post name (i.e., with some BOLDness or an ACRONYM in it), that gets reflected in a <title> element. That *should* be stripped anyways.

I don't think it's hard to do, hence, marking it as "trivial".

post.diff contains the fix for this "bug".
I also removed a "stripslashes" that didn't seem to be doing anything useful.

[rq]

stripslashes may be needed in case of magic_quotes or sth...

Ah! Thanks Matt. I hope the diff is okay. I did a diff using post-old.php(v1.2 file) and post.php(the new one).

[rq]

Btw, the link titles still contain markup even w/ this patch... :/

I think, it's probably because a wrong variable is being used there.

We shouldn't be using stripslashes anymore in the CVS.

I guess it works fine, check ​http://carthik.net/test for a post without the change and a couple of post with the change.

[rq]

Firefox shows the following tooltip on the post "without a change":

Permanent link: < p >testing< /p > without a change.

(with no spaces in "p" tags)

IMO, that's not correct... ;)

I just added the without a change to show how the tags are there without the changes I made. The next two posts are ones made with the changed post.php file.

Inside of wp_title() we strip_tags.
