As discussed on the [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-
developers/ASBJ0ge2KYo/discussion django-developers mailing list], the
regular expressions for validating email addresses are complicated for
questionable benefit. We should simplify it to use HTML5 type="email"
validation ([http://blog.gerv.net/2011/05/html5_email_address_regexp/
possible candidate]). A deprecation may be needed to give time for
projects to add back more complex validation that they might required.
