gmail testing addresses do not validate
---------------------------------------

                 Key: VALIDATOR-271
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-271
             Project: Commons Validator
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.3.1 Release
         Environment: any
            Reporter: Ralf Hauser


For testing purposes, gmail allows to extend a regular address

  john....@gmail.com 
to
  john.doe+te...@gmail.com 
and those work fine with MTAs and MUAs of various makers.

But unfortunately org.apache.commons.validator.EmailValidator doesn't appear to 
like this.

Suggestions:
1) fix it
2) in EmailValidator.java, document which RFCs you implement 
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4?)
