</div>I can see arguments for both sides of that one. Escaping immediately<br>
before output is safest. Late-escaping, basically.<br>
<br>
If you examine the core code currently (trunk), in all of the places I<br>
spot checked, when core uses home_url(), it runs it through esc_url()<br>
before outputting it. This is also the case for things like<br>
admin_url() and such.<br>
<br>
Twenty-eleven, twelve, and thirteen all esc_url( home_url() ).<br>
Twenty-ten notably did not.<br>
<br>
I would class it as recommended, possibly to move to required in a<br>
version or so?<br>
