I've seen an email-address-checking regular expression which was said to fully support the RFCs. It's the biggest, longest load of gibberish I ever saw. Seriously, it's huge. So it's little wonder that validation systems take shortcuts. HTML5 has a specific type of input field for email addresses which negates the need for the javascript, but it'll still need to be validated on the server-side because you must never ever trust client-side input.
