What are the use-cases for accepting a list of bare e-mail addresses like "Simetrical+w3c at gmail.com" (without the angle brackets)? The obvious use-case for a single such address is when you're supplying your address to a site, since existing applications normally don't want anything but the address itself. For multiple, maybe a list of usernames, on a site where usernames are e-mail addresses? It seems a bit of a stretch.
