If we assume we are going to use punycode, then you prety much *have* to split at dots, otherwise you'd have cases where punycode generates strings containing multiple consecutive dots. Yes, you could make this valid by generating suitably quoting, but you'd be creating local parts that are (a) deprecated by 2822 and (b) stand a significant chance of not working on the current Internet. (See my separate post on quoting.) Oops, as has just been pointed out to me, quoting is valid within the legal-to-generate grammar of 2822. I would still voice the concern that it anything containing quoting is likely to be less than universally acceptable to currently deployed systems (and we therefore shouldn't generate it). -roy
