Comment (by TomasM):

 Is there anywhere a clear guidance for the theme developers on when to use
 escaping?

 I follow the development of _s and default WP themes to make my themes
 better and recently in Twenty Fifteen and _s there was escaping promoted.
 Now, when I applied those changes to my theme I will have to revert :-/

 Is there any harm for having escaping in place?
