How email addresses are growing to support unicode
Abstract
This talk will include a presentation about changes that are happening to email address syntax, as well as recent developments to Unicode email addresses. In addition, IETF and W3C email syntax rules, which are primarily compatible, will be discussed. Both organizations have proposed updates to extend the rules (i.e., via an IETF draft and W3C Github pull request). There'll be brief information regarding the proposed changes, address validation and web browsers/forms and of course implementation progress
