> URIs doesn't exclude email addresses.
The 2.0 spec was written with complete disregard for email and clearly states
that an identifier is either a "http" or "https" URI
The fact that you can cram an email into a URL by abusing the initial
username/password-in-the-URL intent doesn't change a thing. It is
just a lucky co-incidence.
I think we need to admit this mistake and move on instead of revising history.
