[PHP-DEV] filter_var doesn't support international email addresses

[j adams]

Please let me know which mailing list address to use if I have sent this to
the wrong list.

filter_var does not properly validate emails with international characters.
For example, this returns FALSE:

var_dump(filter_var("Pelé@example.com", FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL));

Are there any plans to implement proper validation of email addresses as
described in RFC 6530?
