Ah, sorry, my mistake Mike...quickly reading over your message,
I thought you were suggesting something like

<dd>Address line1</dd>
<dd>Address line2</dd>
<dd>City</dd>
<dd>Postcode</dd>

etc.

No, of course, your belief is correct.

...although, once you start having a list of 2 or more distinct
things that are related to each other, I'd almost suggest actually
using a data table (and possibly using css to hide the table head)

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">Photograph</th>
<th scope="col">Address</th>
<th scope="col">Telephone</th>
</tr> 
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img .../></td>
<td><address>...</address></td>
<td>tel no.</td>
</tr>
...
</tbody>
</table>

Patrick
