Does that actually work with Gravatar and the blogapp plugins that call it?

A ton of people validate addresses using Regular Expressions but don't have the fortitude to copy-paste the monster regex needed to do it correctly.

This will work fine with gravatar.

You just have to associate the + address with your account - you can even give it a different image so you could have a different identity on every site without needing multiple email addresses.
