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 at w3.org - which is  
publicly archived.

cheers
