I don't know if they changes the answer to the question, but it now says
name@exampleis valid.It does say it's valid, but also that it's obsolete, and while the RFC does define valid but obsolete specs, there is nothing defining domains without a dot as obsolete, and it is in fact defined in the regular spec, not the obsolete section
I see what you mean, I'm with you now.
It says valid but obsolete, which sounds like a contradiction to me.
Do email suffix not indicate a different domain like .org and .com for websites?
