Steps to reproduce:

1.Follow the link  https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/
2.Click on the button "Get involved"
3.Type email address with Cyrillic letters "Фыва@mail.ru" in e-mail field. 


Actual results:

The e-mail field accepts Cyrillic letters Фыва@mail.ru - there is no red highlight around email field


Expected results:

When Cyrillic letters are typed in the email fielf, there is red highlight around the email field (According to RFC 6531 the local-part of the email address may use Uppercase and lowercase English letters, not cyrillic)

The same issue occurs when the link https://www.mozilla.org/ru/contribute/?icn=tabz is followed, and any item from the upper right dropbox is chosen.

These are valid (IDN) email addresses, so I expect this is a willful violation of the spec (which might not have said then what it says now?), which specifies only us-ascii here: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#valid-e-mail-address

See also: bug 618876. Mounir, is that right, or do we want/need to fix this?

Dropping needinfo? request because it was two years ago. If you still want to hear from me, please add the flag back.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe, this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
