Hello:

Regular Expressions for Internet Mail draft-01 has been updated. There is a brief change log in Appendix B, which is reprinted below. I/we look forward to discussing and hopefully getting this dispatched.

Regards,

Sean
(and co-authors)

Appendix B.  Change Log

   The document status is now marked as Informational instead of Best
   Current Practice (although it seems that it could go either way).

   The authors decided to focus on "modern" ASCII-only email identifiers
   first and to get those right before tackling Unicode email
   identifiers and "obsolete" ABNF productions.  This draft-01 preserves
   the main text of draft-00 rather than remove potentially useful text.
   Deliverable and modern email addresses, and modern Message-IDs, have
   been addressed.  The Unicode work remains unfinished for now;
   "obsolete" ABNF productions (which are still useful for archival
   applications) will also be addressed in future drafts.

   The authors decided to write one set of regular expressions in one
   dialect (namely, PCRE/PCRE2) before tackling others (e.g.,
   JavaScript).  Different dialects will be addressed in future drafts.

Abstract:
   Internet Mail identifiers are used ubiquitously throughout computing
   systems as building blocks of online identity.  Unfortunately,
   incomplete understandings of the syntaxes of these identifiers has
   led to interoperability problems and poor user experiences.  Many
   users use specific characters in their addresses that are not
   properly accepted on various systems.  This document prescribes
   normative regular expression (regex) patterns for all Internet-
   connected systems to use when validating or parsing Internet Mail
   identifiers, with special attention to regular expressions that work
   with popular languages and platforms.
