[theme-reviewers] home_url clarification

[Stephen Cui]

According to in example in
http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review#Site_Information, echo home_url()
is acceptable (or not?)

But many reviewer ask the author to use echo esc_url( home_url() ).

Question: Is esc_url required in home_url() case?

Regards

Stephen
