#10410: Secondary RSS feeds use the wrong function to acquire post titles

 Priority:  normal        |   Milestone:          
Component:  Feeds         |     Version:  2.8.1   
 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  RSS HTML
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The bug occurs on line 1499 of wp-includes/general-template.php.  It grabs
 the post title by calling `esc_​html( get_​the_​title() )`.

 The problem occurs when a plugin injects HTML into the title using the
 `the_title` hook, secondary feeds may break and will definitely display
 incorrectly when selected from the browser's feed icon in the address bar.

 Either this function should strip the HTML (not escape it) or call the
 `the_title_attribute()` function that returns the title pre filter (this
 is probably the wrong solution).
