Now is the time for the powers-to-be to introduce the use of <..> for
bracketing within an address.  Then both <a!b!c>@d.e and a!b!<c@d.e>
will be unambiguous.

     a!b!<c@d.e>!<f@g.h>!<j%k%l@m.n>!user

As for the old complaint that addresses aren't routes, the answer is
that they frequently are, and the more different networks interconnet
the more true this will be in the future.
