Is there a limit on chars it can contain?
Why not:
[email protected] <mailto:%[email protected]> or
#[email protected] <mailto:#[email protected]>
Seems more natural but may be a tech limitation I'm not aware of.
As far as I can tell from
http://code.google.com/p/webfinger/wiki/WebFingerProtocol the address
should simply be validated/normalized as an email address, in which case
# and ! should indeed be valid chars for use in the local part of the
address.
Might be problems with #[email protected] in particular... may need to make
sure we consistently manage escaping going to/from acct: URLs.
