Description
The comment at view-source:https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/10/20/document-title-in-4-4/ contains a <title> tag, which incorrectly parsed as HTML. This causes SEO problems, invalidates the HTML, and causes incorrect truncation of the comment.
HTML tags used in commments should always be suitably escaped/processed.

Just noting I've edited out the tag in question.
WordPress comments should be escaping HTML by default or at least limiting the range of HTML (It is, but seems to allow title tags), I suspect this might be a bug in o2.
