Arguably, though, if these are the contact details of the company
whose site you're on, then it *is* correct (as they would, in the
wider sense, be the authors of their site - and not Bob down in the IT
department). So establishing whether or not it's correct obviously
depends on context, which Bruce didn't provide in his question.
Yes, it can be anyone responsible for the content on those pages, such
as the address of the real estate agent on a house for sale page, but I
couldn't use it (correctly) to make a list of addresses of places I
visited during my holidays, whatever. In other words, if you use the
address element on a web page, that is telling a parser that that is the
contact address information associated with the content of that document.
Thanks for the HTML4 reference.
