are things that are considered out of current spec really "valid" though?

And is it really valid if my email provider doesn't accept it? If it's not universally accepted or standard, then it doesn't matter if it's technically valid.

The RFC is the standard.

If your email provider doesn’t accept email@email.wtf is it then invalid?
