Citing XEP-0106:  "Typically, unescaping is performed only by a client
that wants to display JIDs containing escaped characters to a human
user, or by a gateway to some external system (e.g., email or LDAP)
that needs to generate identifiers for foreign systems."

The second purpose is clear, but the first (display to a human user)
is not so clear for me now.
