I guess its permissable, but I'd say its not advisable. I would be
unsurprised if a number of clients and/or MTAs made a mess of it
(especially ones too closely integrated with web browsers).
A few years ago the BBC TV lot had an email address set up -
live&kicking@???. After the first week or so they gave out
alternative addresses - live.and.kicking and liveandkicking . This
might be due to widespread finger trouble, but my suspicion is a lot of
systems threw that address out.
