I heartily endorse Greg's proposal, since it's exactly the same as
what the UUCP project decided nearly a year ago to standardize on.
A document describing this standard in sufficient detail for an
implementation will be posted to this newsgroup in a few days - it's
nearly ready to go.  (It's still a draft and comments from the net
community will be invited when it's posted.  Changes are still possible.)

By the way, the domain!user syntax can indeed handle almost all cases
of legal 822 addresses with multiple @'s, because such multiple @'s can
only appear with explicit routes.
	@foo,@bar:user@mumble
becomes
	foo!bar!mumble!user
Addresses such as
	user@foo@bar
are not legal 822.
