An email address validator (which includes checking a valid TLD is used) in pure HTML with no JavaScript or dependencies. It could be used to improve the user experience by rejecting mistyped email addresses.

I've used [Verimail](https://github.com/amail/Verimail.js) and [Mailcheck](https://github.com/mailcheck/mailcheck) with success before to give inline feedback on mistyped email addresses.


## Are there any other recommended HTML attributes to add?

- Always use `type="email"` rather than `type="text"` to take advantage of browser-based validation and feedback and provide hints to autocomplete/autofill users email address.

## How did you get the list of valid TLDs?
