Usage Advice

Use when

Use for the single normalized addr-spec of a first-class gmeow:EmailAddress — the canonical whole, distinct from its parsed local and domain parts.

Avoid when

Avoid asserting more than one value per address (it is functional) and avoid using it for the bare agent-level shortcut (that is gmeow:email); an email value is sensitive personal data, never for public projection.

How to use

Carry the normalized addr-spec on the EmailAddress; derive gmeow:localPart and gmeow:domainPart from it, and keep its personal sensitivity so it is withheld from public consumers.

Examples

ex:lillithEmail gmeow:addressValue "lillith@example.org".
