-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [whatwg] type=email and IDN Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2011 11:55:04 +0100 From: Anne van Kesteren <annevk@opera.com> Organization: Opera Software To: WHATWG <whatwg@whatwg.org> This must have been brought up before as e.g. http://pukupi.com/post/2070/ is from June 2010, but I could not find anything quickly. Apparently people are using IDNs and cannot get them validated with email controls because the specification prohibits this. We should probably change that. Either by saying it should first be converted to Punycode and then validated, or by enhancing the pattern. (The email RFC might still be outdated on this point, I have not checked, but we have decided to not follow it anyway as it fails to match email addresses people actually use.)
