OTOH, if a major change in email is shortly going to happen, namely hte
internationalization of addr-specs, then it does not seem to be the right
time to be bringing out a new standard that merely re-establishes the old
system.
it is highly unlikely that IDNs will change the email syntax.
OTOH, any attempt to bring Internationalization into the local-part will
almost certainly onvolve some restriction on its present flexibility, as I
showed when we discussed this a few weeks back. That needs to be looked
into before we cast it into concrete in its present form.
