The address tag was never actually built for addresses (a common
misconception), and addresses are also not lists? I would highly recommend
marking it up with Microformats and using the built in classes to style this
as you need.

Why not use the address tag and a definition list? I believe that also

Personally, IF the address had a name associated with it, I would use a
definition list.
However, there are some purists out there that can't see beyond using a dl
for anything other than defining a word. But John Doe is a term and his
address, phone number, etc are describing him:
John Doe
123 Acacia Avenue
Suburb State Postal Code
Tel 888 9581 4077
Fax 888 9581 2835
Can be marked up as the following (including microformats)
dl class=vcard
dt class=fn orgJohn Doe/dt
dd class=adrstrong class='street-address123 Acacia Avenue/strong
span class=postal-codeSuburb State Postal Code/span/dd
dd class=telspan class=typetel/span: strong class=value888

Can anyone guide me re. best practice for marking-up physical addresses
that
would appear like this:
123 Acacia Avenue
Suburb State Postal Code
Tel 888 9581 4077
Fax 888 9581 2835
Or is it acceptable to keep all in p and use /br's
TIA
Henrik
