Nothing 'wrong' with that I don't think. I think that the street
address should probably only be contained within a single <dd>, though
(since it is a single entity). Lines could be broken with <br /> as
appropraite.
I think it would then be appropraite to wrap the inner text of each
<dd> with an <address> too, so you have:
<dl>
<dt>CAMELFORD OFFICE:</dt>
<dd>20 Market Place<br />
<dd>Camelford<br />
<dd>Cornwall</dd>
<dd>PL32 9PD</dd>
<dd>TEL 01840 212938</dd>
<dd>FAX 01840 213596</dd>
</dl>
The WHATWG Web Apps draft has an expanded definition for <address>
which seems to be semantically identical to the existing HTML4 spec,
but provides a more verbose explaination:
