The rule, according to RFC-4880 is that the notation name is in the form of an email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or the like. This prevents collisions among different people (since their domain is in the notation name). There is a process in which a given notation can be made an internet standard, and thus not need the '@' sign, but there are no such standard notations yet.
