Comment:

 Why call it invalid report?

 Plugins should be allowed to add javascript into posts, and to do so they
 need to wrap the code in CDATA to keep XHTML valid.

 If it is being done just for RSS sake, do it only when the content is
 feeded at all.

 2 solutions were suggested, 3 years passed, and the code is still there
 without anybody defending it. If it must be there somebody should point
 why. If not, move it to a filter with high hook priority and let each
 website owner / plugin developer deal with it.
