Lea - I think the problematic part of the <address /> element as described in Geoff's link is the part reading "authorship for the current document". Yes, wrapping a street address is correct. However, it specifies that the address must be related directly to the document (e.g. the author's or owner organisations address). You can't, apparently, use it to mark up arbitrary addresses in a page.
My interpretation from that link (contrary from what I previously believed) you couldn't markup the address of your companies resellers (for instance, you have a list of them on a single page) with the <address> element as their address isn't related to the authorship of the document. I do agree with Geoff that this is something of a waste of an element.
