On a Windows PC that pretty much involves "everything".  OpenType apparently even has a field for an email address.  I can see some partial tests being possible, but I can't imagine that a full test of "everything" would be feasible, unfortunately.  (I can see where I could talk myself into a corner here, I don't mean to not be careful, I just mean that we aren't going to catch everything.)

I'd agree, but john@bogus.domain.name should still work :)0

So, I pretty much agree with your points, but you aren't giving me much hope of EAI being adaquate to those criteria in the next decade.  I still think some sort of schedule would be interesting to help us figure out how to proceed in addressing your concerns.
