The markup of addresses has been discussed earlier on this list. One thread was this: http://www.mail-archive.com/wsg@webstandardsgroup.org/msg21847.html I think you should base your decision on what the user needs to do with this list of addresses. If he has to search for a person, I would probably choose a sorted table. If it is a list of addresses, which doesn't need to be searched or which represents a hierarchical order, I'd choose an unordered list with each address marked up like this: <dl class="address"> <dt class="person">Name</dt> <dd class="street">Street Number</dd> <dd class="city">ZIP City<dd> <dd class="country">Country</dd> </dl> (I don't like the address tag, because it can only be used with inline elements...) Probably there will be a better microformat for this, but I don't have the time to search for one now. Take a look at www.microformats.org But probably the near future will bring us a pattern for marking up addresses at John Allsopp's www.webpatterns.org regards Martin ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
