Maybe i can clear-up abit of confusion,

There is an element in HTML called "ADDRESS"[1] it is confusing to
what that actually means.

According to the W3C it is:
The ADDRESS element may be used by authors to supply contact
information for a document or a major part of a document such as a
form. This element often appears at the beginning or end of a
document.

So when we use that in conjunction with hResume, it is the contact
information for the person whom the resume represents. So when we
mention ADDRESS+hCard we are intending

<address class="vcard">
<!-- the rest of your hcard here -->
</address>

The semantics Address does not mean class="adr", it means contact info.

I hope this helps clear-up a few things, the hCard FAQ[2] has abit
more information about <address>, we should start an FAQ page[3] for
hResume, any takers?

Hi Angus,

In the hResume draft, I belive the intent of "contact info. required.
<address> + hCard" is to specify that using hCard for contact info is
required. Ryan can confirm this, but AFAIK, you do not have to use the
<address> element for marking up the adr microformat in your hCard in
hResume. What matters is the class of "adr", not the element you choose. See
the sample in the adr specification: http://microformats.org/wiki/adr.

FWIW, this is how I've marked up my hCard in my hResume at
http://steve.ganz.name/hresume/:

<div class="vcard">
  <h1 class="fn n" id="name"><a class="url" href="http://steve.ganz.name/";
rel="me"><span class="given-name">Steve</span> <span
class="family-name">Ganz</span></a></h1>
  <address class="adr">
        <span class="street-address">1409 La Terrace Circle</span> <span
class="locality">San Jose</span>, <abbr class="region"
title="California">CA</abbr> <span class="postal-code">95123</span>
  </address>
  <div class="tel"><abbr class="type" title="cell">Mobile:</abbr> <abbr
class="value" title="+14082308134">408-230-8134</abbr></div>
  <div class="email"><abbr class="type" title="email">Email:</abbr> <a
href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" class="value">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a></div>
</div>

Thanks,
Steve
