 According to the latest HTML5 specification the following examples counts
 as correctly formatted email:

 email at localhost OR susan at domain *

 reference: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#valid-e-mail-
 address

 When using wp_create_user() with an email formatted as above the following
 error is produced:

 ''empty_user_login, Cannot create a user with an empty login name.''

 Ideally, no error is produced and the user account is created.

 ''aside: not sure correct way to describe -- no . or no tld -- eitherway,
 hope example displays what i mean.''
