There would have to be well formed parse rules to support this.
I realize that. I'm asking if there are any such rules.
Would you
allow an '@' in a realm name component as well (probably not).
No, probably not. But it's not my place to make decisions like that
in a vacuum. I believe they should be part of the spec.
If not,
then are you proposing that the last "@" seen by the name parser delimit
the realm from the username?
Yes, exactly.
