Why does HTML5 form-validation allow emails without a dot?

by

You can theoretically have an address without a “.” in.

Since technically things such as:

user@com
user@localserver
user@[IPv6:2001:db8::1]

Are all valid emails.

So the standard HTML5 validation allows for all valid E-mails, including the uncommon ones.

For some easy to read explanations (Instead of reading through the standards):
