This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/states-of-the-type-attribute.html Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#valid-e-mail-address Comment: You should allow the part after the at sign to be ldh-str 0*( "." ldh-str ), or whatever the proper syntax is, to allow "username@localhost". This might actually be useful for testing web apps, and it doesn't seem like it would cause any extra harm. Plus, in principle, a regular TLD could resolve to something with an A or MX record, e.g., the ccTLD "to" has an A record and maybe mail can get there (dunno).
