Description Lars Gunther 2010-04-04 16:06:53 UTC 
The regexp given in the spec says this is OK.

foo.@bar.com

The first part of an email address should not be allowed to end with a dot.

It should be:

1*atext *("." 1*atext)

Currently it is:

1*( atext / "." )


(This issue was found by Rasmus Leerdorf and all credit should go to him.)
