Description

It appears that <s.foo> in wikimarkup, where foo is arbitrary text, will cause any text following to be struckthrough. For example, search for 'commit c2e2c2efc1fdf09b126fc8d182a01df6285d9175' on the following page:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend/Deployments/2012-10-01

Siebrand's email address is causing all following text to get struckthrough!

Sounds like bug 17663?

For comparison, browsers (WebKit in this case) allow dots in tag names:

a.innerHTML='<s.foo>test'
a.innerHTML

< "<s.foo>test</s.foo>"

Added a (disabled for the PHP parser) test in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/34592/.
