Messages repoadmin-edit-bug repoadmin-edit-view contain english names that may be not translated to some languages, when localized. Thus they need to be properly tagged as English, else screen readers, search engines, etc. will fail on them. Trying <span lang="en">ViewVC</span> and <span lang="en">BugZilla</span>, however, render the html verbatim on screen by incorrectly escaping the <>'s. This is likely a bug showing up at other places as well.
Changed summary. <span lang=foo">..</span> is allowed in wiki text and we are not making message to accept raw html.
FWIW: these messages are passed to Xml::buildForm() which uses wfMsgExt and 'parseinline'. Does that not allow for <span>?
Works on my test wiki (on /trunk)
