I can't answer 1, but I wrote the script so feel able to answer 2. My answer is that you can easily add further semantics as shown below , but its hard to subtract them. For example try the followign quick script

xxx = "me at hotmail"; string.isvalidEmailaddress(xxx) and string.countFields(string.nthField(xxx, "@", 2), ".") > 1

leaves isValidEmailAddress doing its advertised job of checking for conformance to the RFC, but adding a sanity check as you sugegst.
