The only thing I've done recently is to add an "AUTO-GENERATED HTML; DO NOT EDIT!" comment to PEPs. I did the same thing to plaintext PEPs though (PEP 0, PEP 1). Plaintext PEPs don't have the "" processing instruction at the top, so it may be an interaction.

Moving this comment inside the html entity also seems to work, ie:

So what's the solution? Ignore the browser bug or work around it?

Ignoring wont work .
