[1] Which reminds my that the draft specifies splitting local-part and
domain at _the_ at-sign. It should probably read "at the _last_
at-sign", since local-parts may contain at-signs themselves.
Strinctly speaking, if we're going to follow RFC822, then we split at
_the_ unquoted at-sign. There can only be one, according to the
syntax. There may of course be quoted at-signs in atoms on either
side of the unquoted at-sign (though having them on the right would
result in a domain name that doesn't follow hostname rules).
See me separate thread on quoting on why I think we probably shouldn't
go down this road.
