    Valid mail addresses are rejected at registration
    Some mail addresses are rejected unnecessary and could prevent an user to finish his registration.
    For example, it is impossible to register with mail addresses such as démonstration@example.com or example@démo.fr.

    As noticed by @nterray, Chrome/Chromium also marked démo@example.org as invalid. This is actually an error of the HTML5 spec [HTML5 specification Input Email]. I got confirmation by two members of the W3C consortium: https://twitter.com/robinberjon/status/553299734077927424 [FR] and https://twitter.com/poulpita/status/553247571758809088 [FR]. There is also an open bug on the W3C tracker: forms: <input type=email> validation needs to be updated for EAI.

    However, even if the HTML5 specification is wrong, Tuleap should be able to process international email.
