Actually, the W3C HTML5 says:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/states-of-the-type-attribute.html#valid-e-mail-address
> A valid e-mail address is a string that matches the ABNF production 1*( atext / "." ) "@" ldh-str 1*( "." ldh-str )

and WHATWG HTML says:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/states-of-the-type-attribute.html#valid-e-mail-address
> A valid e-mail address is a string that matches the ABNF production 1*( atext / "." ) "@" ldh-str *( "." ldh-str )

I think the WHATWG definition was changed recently.
The current WebKit implementation is based on the W3C HTML5 specification, which rejects "nathan at psi".  We should update the implementation for the WHATWG definition.
