Not checked yet. Stuff probably breaks with whitespace in local parts.

Lintian uses Email::Address::XS. That seems to allow Unicode (allowed
by RFC 6532, but not by RFC 822), but also doesn't flag obsolete syntax
(whitespace). It accepts the address `käse <"kä se"@example.com>`:
perl -mEmail::Address::XS -E '
my $x = Email::Address::XS->parse(q{käse <"kä se"@example.com>});
say $x->is_valid();
'
So it is more generous than Policy either way.
