In practice, it seems jcheck requires a real email address. At any rate, it gave me an unspecific "invalid contributor attribution" when I tried to follow the example.
Yes, jcheck requires a real RFC-822 e-mail address. I suspect the address in the example got munged from <ben@bits.org> to <ben at bits.org> when Iris removed '@' signs in order to make spammers' lives (a little tiny bit) harder. I'll make a note to try to beef up the jcheck diagnostic in this case -- right now it's just a big regex. - Mark
