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.
