"A valid e-mail address is a string that matches the production dot-atom "@" dot-atom where dot-atom is defined in RFC 2822 section 3.2.4, excluding the CFWS production everywhere. [RFC2822]". A newer RFC, RFC 5322, is intended to obsolete RFC 2822. The "dot-atom" production seems to be define identically in RFC 5322 and RFC 2822: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-3.2.4 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.2.3 Also, just for the record, some notes about why the HTML5 draft doesn't just reference the "addr-spec" production instead of dot-atom "@" dot-atom: <Hixie> addr-spec doesn't match user expectations <Hixie> e.g. iirc something like this matches addr-spec: "foo" (bar) @ foo.com <Hixie> meaning foo@foo.com <Hixie> and then you can start introducing escapes and all kinds of stuff 22865 1 julian.reschke 2008-12-30 16:08:20 +0000 "A newer RFC, RFC 5322, is intended to obsolete RFC 2822." Nit: it *does* obsolete RFC2822. 33025 2 mjs 2010-03-14 13:16:01 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
