You're right, Local-Part allows quoted strings, so let's stick with
1*( atext / "." ) for the local-part in HTML5.

Er, right... misread the 1*() in HTML5 and *() in RFC 5322, sorry.

Not in the Domain production (I wasn't suggesting borrowing the
Mailbox production from RFC 5321, but "local-part@domain").

atext and ldh-str.
