As far as I know, the basic email RFCs have no concept of structured local parts. All they require is that the local part of an address satisfies the syntax rules. If you know that you will never have a username with an 'x' in it, you could use 'x' as the field separator. However, there are some developments for "subaddress" support, e.g. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-newman-email-subaddr-00.
