 In WordPress, escaping functions generally use the naming convention
 `esc_thing()`.

 The `tag_escape()` function and it's associated hook do not. Is it worth
 renaming each to either `esc_tag` or the more precise `esc_html_tag`?

 There is some [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01GDYE8DKXN527KR6GDA24HCE2
 use within the plugin repository] but not a huge amount.
