Description:
------------
I'm well aware that this an unclear in the HTML specification, 
but this would bring PHP inline with IE/Fx/Saf/Op as well as 
the W3C Validator.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

echo strip_tags('<span title="test > all">this</span>');

?>

Expected result:
----------------
this

Actual result:
--------------
 all">this

To process HTML broken in every possible way we would need to implement a browser in PHP, which is definitely not our goal.

This _isn't_ broken HTML. It is completely and utterly valid.

Resubmitted as #40432, and fixed in 5.2.2.
