[Form validation] Built-in email rule says 'bad@email' is a valid email.

See original GitHub issue

I entered bad@email while testing form validation using the built-in email rule and it came back as valid. Is this a bug? I would say the bad@email is not a valid email.

How about just adding a flag for whether it is strict - per RFC 5321 validation or less-strict, aka, practical - per RFC 5322

Then it is right for all contexts.

I don’t see why this is an issue if you want to use RFC 5322 then you can just specify a custom regex rule.
