           Summary: XML parsetree output sometimes bogus
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.16-svn
          Platform: All
               URL: http://en.wikpiedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Zh-
                    full&action=edit&oldid=317512308
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Templates
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]


Steps to reproduce:

1. Open
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Zh-full&action=edit&oldid=317512308>
and copy the wikitext into the text field at
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ExpandTemplates>.
2. Check "Show XML parse tree" and press OK
3. Search in the XML output for the string "<comment></comment>"

Note that the output can't be correct, because a comment node must contain at
least the opening "<!--" characters.

A few notes:
- This is not a bug of Special:Expandtemplates, as the api output of
action=expandtemplates is the same.
- It appears to happen only very rarely and for certain input values
- The actual preprocessor output appears to be correct, which is why I suspect
it might be a bug in the ->saveXML function of the DOM XML extension.
