Filter HTML into XML upon loading document

[Deleted user]

Let's say we've got the following code:

<script><!--

var poop = [red, green, brown];

for (var i = poop.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
  console.log(poop[i]);
}

--></script>

Upon reaching i--, the DOM parser will think it's reached the end of the comment block; however, > is missing, and you'll see this warning:

Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): Comment not terminated

...and a blank page.

/* <![CDATA[ */ . . . /* ]]> */ will work, but it would be nice if we could avoid this sort of 'hack' altogether.

Yup, this is just weak input validation. I shall make DOMTemplate add CDATA markers automatically so as to fix this, and other, issues.

Renamed issue to a more general "filter HTML into XML upon loading document". Whilst script fixing is important, there'll likely be other munges that will need to be made.
