Re: rfc2486bis
Jari,
I see that in the new draft the example "fred@foo" becomes now a
valid NAI because the definition of the realm changed compard to the
original RFC, but in naibis it is still in the invalid list - but
that has to be changed I guess?
Could there also be the following problem: "eng!nancy@bigu.edu" was
valid in the original RFC2486. Now how do I know whether the
username is "eng!nancy", which is a valid username, or is the
username "nancy" and homerealm "eng"? I believe it is better to use
another symbol than "!" such as ":"?
regards,
Stefaan
