Long answer:

At some point, we modified the definition of the UsernameCaseMapped and 
UsernameCasePreserved profiles so that they could be used directly in 
HTTP authentication (see Section 2.1 of 
draft-ietf-httpauth-basicauth-update) and thus so that we could avoid 
having multiple profiles for username-like identifiers. That 
necessitated adding the '@' character to the username profiles, but we 
never updated the text in the introduction to reflect that fact.

Short answer:

s/email addresses//

Peter
