+1 on the kudos as well as a hint on where those of us new to the standards relating to the email input type can find details.
Someone else already posted the link, but what is under discussion is the defintion of the "email" input type in HTM, with the current draft being: https://w3c.github.io/html/sec-forms.html#email-state-typeemail We *agreed* to update this so that it accepts unicodce on the LHS, but we have not yet done the editorial work to make it happen. Andrew's comments have been closest to describing what I believe our spec intends - so at the very least there is some more editorial work to do on expressing this more clearly. Contributions are welcome (although of course there is the requirement for IPR commitment according to W3C's patent policy). Best way to contribute is through github, if you have an account: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues It is also possible to email comments to public-html@w3.org - which is publicly archived. cheers Chaals

This is a great step.
Is there a document that sets out the context for this spec and provides the full details ? It would be useful for outreach.

That is indeed good news.
Are there other constraints to the email input type? Does it allow unicode on the other side of the ‘@‘? Does it include any
validation? And field length constraints?

Hi,
just to note that this week we reached a provisional agreement to change the HTML email input type, and make it accept a >>unicode value before the "@" instead of the current restriction to ASCII. Once we get this change made and published - >>hopefully in a few weeks - we would appreciate help encouraging browsers to implement it fast.
cheers
