Ask HN: Examples of standard compliance that does not work in the real world? From another HN thread: RFC 5321 states: The local-part of a mailbox MUST BE treated as case sensitive Which is absolutely impossible to follow in the real world. An onlineshop that treats Henry@gmail.com as a new customer because it is different from henry@gmail.com will have a ton of problems. What are similar, maybe even harder to follow standards? |
