--- Comment #34 from Anne <annevk@annevk.nl> ---
So I think the best solution here is simply change the definition of what
constitutes a "valid e-mail address".

This is a little bit backwards incompatible, but given that servers will
already have to validate what ends up being submitted I don't think it will
actually be a problem, especially since EAI is a strict superset.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531#section-3.3 extends atext so before @ we
should be okay.

After @ we have 'label *( "." label )' today which I think together with the @
we could replace with At-domain as updated by
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531#section-3.3 of course.

Martin, Kent, what do you think about that?
