As it turns out there are several problems with both unescaped and escaped inline tags in HTML attribute values. I filed [a JBS issue][jbs] for them. While part of the inline tag issue (reading escaped inline tags) will require fixes in `DocCommentParser.java`, it is not related to the issue addressed in this PR, so I propose to handle them separately.
