I was present for Tantek's talk and I thought he said <address> was used
only for information about the author, not for various adddresses that might
be listed on a Contact Us page. I don't recall what he said about <br>. I'll
have to download the podcast and listen to it again -- it will be a
pleasure!

I considered using <span> but to me the code looks much cleaner and the css
has one less item by using <br />. (I like the less-is-more concept.)
