Interoperable Email Addresses for SMTPUTF8
This document specifies rules for email addresses that are flexible
enough to express the addresses typically used with SMTPUTF8, while
avoiding elements that harm human-to-human interoperation.
This is one of a pair of documents: this contains recommendations for
what addresses humans should use, such that address provisioning
systems can restrain themselves to addresses that email valdidators
accept. (This set can also be described in other ways, including
"simple to cut-and-paste" and "understandable by some community".)
Its companion defines simpler rules, accepts more addresses, and is
intended for software like MTAs.
