 If a post title contains XHTML markup, the markup is included in the title
 attribute of the Comments link. See
 [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/205790]. To fix the problem, I suggest
 that line 973 in wp-includes/comments-template.php (version 2.8.5) be
 changed from
 {{{
 $title = esc_attr( get_the_title() );
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 $title = the_title_attribute('echo=0');
 }}}
