There is no way in heck you should be pulling apart someone else's 
rewritten local part and trying to make sense of it, and worse -- 
doing something with "information" based on your assumptions that you 
know what it means.

If what you are suggesting comes to pass, I'll make up my own 
proprietary SRS/RPR-like rewriting scheme, (maybe even encrypting the 
whole thing with a private key to prevent someone from even 
attempting to make sense of it), and I won't share it :P

My addressing in my local part is MY business, there's no way you're 
going to start requiring MY local part to be in a format to fit YOUR desires.
