You should see how Sabre handles email address with it's bizarre, limited, possibly 7bit character set from 1959.
In Sabre emails can be like 70 characters long. But periods count as two characters, as do underscores, and @ counts as four. I mean given the choice between period and cross of lorraine I know which I am choosing to include.
