+RFC 5322 ABNF-Compatible Email Address Parser
+==============================================
+
+Implements a recursive descent parser for RFC 5322 Internet Message Format,
+covering sections 3.2 through 4.4 (Lexical Tokens, Date/Time, Address
+Specification, and Obsolete Syntax).
+
+The parser handles both the modern (generating) syntax and the obsolete
+(interpreting) syntax per the RFC requirements.
