The first is correct, but <address> should only be used when

It's not used for general contact information, which is kind of waste
of a good element.
Happily, both of the examples you cited contradict you.
Do put street address in ADDRESS tags :)

What I meant was that it is not used for general contact information as
in using it for any sort of address. It is specifically for the contact
of the person responsible for that document.
"The *ADDRESS* element is not appropriate for all postal and e-mail
addresses; it should be reserved for providing such information about
the contact people for the document."
see
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/block/address.html
which is probably a much better reference.
That is the semantic meaning of <address> on a web page.
