+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
For what it is worth, this is listed as "under consideration" by the Microsoft Edge team - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/status/internationalinputtypeemailvalidation/ - where they note that Firefox supports it but other browsers don't.
It seems people can add a vote in favour of (or perhaps against?) a feature. I doubt that such a random mechanism is as effective as the right cutomer approaching the right person in the organisation with an explanation of their requirement, but I believe it is taken into consideration.
Now, to see if I can move the work forward in the HTML spec...

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

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?
