Anyone know anything about this? Apparently it's not fit for purpose and should be either fixed or withdrawn.
I think we can safely ignore it. The IETF regex draft is going nowhere because in practice the only email regex that matters is the one in the WHATWG definition of an email address input field in a web form. I added a note several years ago suggesting that they need an eaiaddress field and suitable regex. The response is sure, if there's a significant browser maker that says they want to implement it. So far, there isn't one.
