Crikey, I use <br /> all the time. I did not know I was being so naughty.

Subject: [WSG] Avoiding the evil <br>

I'm getting the hang of this whole Web Standards way of designing a website
and for the most part can totally avoid using <br>. But in the example below
I'm unsure whether I should in fact avoid using <br>:
 
<p><strong>All correspondence should be addressed to:</strong><br /> The
Secretary<br /> Your Club<br /> PO Box 999<br /> Anytown VIC 3000</p>
 
How do others code an address? My feeling is that semantically it should be
contained within one paragraph or entity of some sort. But if you were using
a screen reader, how would you differentiate one line from the next?

If I were to use an ordered list with list-style-type set to none, would
this be semantically correct? Is there a better way?
