RE: BOF on Internationalized Email Addresses (IEA)

I would like to propose a blunt statement of the problem:

Users should be able to use their own language for e-mail addresses.

Users should not be required to learn a foreign script to use e-mail.

This applies equally to users whose language uses the Latin script and to
users whose languages use any other script. 

The solution should be transparent to the user, which means it should take
care of encoding and normalization.
