Sebb commented on VALIDATOR-302:
--------------------------------

[2] above is referring to sapces between tokens is fields. It does not say 
spaces are part of the fields.

[3] above says

{quote}
addr-spec       =   local-part "@" domain
local-part      =   dot-atom / quoted-string / obs-local-part
{quote}

None of the local-part options allow a space.

So I am inclined to agree that a space is not allowed in an email address 
(unless the local-part is a quoted string).
In any case, leading spaces are not allowed.
