The major
conclusion reached at the meeting is to extend the
"username@hostname" mailbox format to "username@host.domain", where
the domain itself can be further structured.
I don't know how helpful that is. Who really gives a shit if it's a .com or .org?
In the date example that is pretty relevant- I don't see how it's super relevant here. It's necessary of course but not very important for a user. Can you imagine using auto complete having to specify com.BBC or com.espn?
In any case, having it user facing instead of a simple "Firefox" style name seems dumb anyway. It's fine for just development.
I think it makes more sense than what we use for browsing internet. Just like date format, it goes from biggest to smallest. TLD.domain.subdomain.
Just as god intended.
And is just happened to be like this because of email. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc805.txt:
