            Description

            For testing purposes, gmail allows to extend a regular address

            john.doe@gmail.com
            to
            john.doe+test1@gmail.com
            and those work fine with MTAs and MUAs of various makers.

            But unfortunately org.apache.commons.validator.EmailValidator doesn't appear to like this.

            Suggestions:
            1) fix it
            2) in EmailValidator.java, document which RFCs you implement (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4?)
