Actually I changed my mind. What I said is just ridiculous.

It would NOT be correct for this draft to contain a specification of how 
to mangle email addresses for display. That's out of scope. What I 
actually implemented is this, and I think my code is right and my brain 
was wrong:

   1. Compute the display-name in the same way as usually
   2. If that's empty, use localpart@domain instead
   3. Sort by that, the way sort usually sorts

IMNSHO sortdisplay should say this, and skip ALL the details of how to 
turn the 822 syntax received into the actual display-name. It could ust 
say something like "in a format intended for display, rather than the 
encoding used when transmitting the message".
