 There is invalid XHTML at lines 4561-4564 and 4583-4586 of wp-
 includes/formatting.php (see
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/d11514485719f41469daff6cde3f3006bd35b58a
 /wp-includes/formatting.php#L4561-L4564 and
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/d11514485719f41469daff6cde3f3006bd35b58a
 /wp-includes/formatting.php#L4583-L4586 )

 These script blocks need to be escaped with /*<![CDATA[*/ ..script
 content.. /*]]>*/
 Otherwise it will cause rendering errors for people serving XHTML as
 application/xhtml+xml

 WordPress was not always like this, as 5 years ago when I made my strict
 XHTMl theme there were no errors. For a few years I had XHTML disabled for
 DISQUS compatibility. I recently re-enabled serving as
 application/xhtml+xml and to my surprise find this regression in the WP
 codebase.
