Comment (by mdgl):

 We have a default filter of esc_html() declared against comment_text_rss()
 so shouldn't this have already solved the problem?

 That said, we're using CDATA blocks in most related areas (e.g. post
 content, excerpts), so perhaps it's more consistent to use them here as
 well.

 An issue remains however in the use of comment_text_rss() as this doesn't
 apply all of the expected filters (e.g. wpautop). I suspect it might be
 better to deprecate comment_text_rss() and use just comment_text() as
 elsewhere in the RSS2 and Atom feeds. See also #21753 for a similar issue
 with the use of excerpts in feeds.
