I have an OpenShift account and now I'm shown an "additional action needed" page on login. When i complete it and hit submit, it tells me that email already exists.
Not at all pleasant :(

Is this a special case for Google mail or do you assume foo+bar@example.domain is the same as foo@example.domain ? Why?
"You may not (or permit third parties to) create multiple accounts or otherwise access the Services in a manner that is intended to avoid Fees or to circumvent maximum capacity thresholds for the Services."
I think it is OK to make a special case for Gmail and Google mail but it is counterproductive to try to crown it as a de facto standard.

The + sign is not anything to do with Google.
I just assumed + is a valid character and a+b@example.domain would be a valid email address independent of a or b. But it seems we shouldn't allow + or -- when people sign up for a new email address?
