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...

cheers
