Now what is the major part of a document that lists contact information for one or multiple businesses? These documents are used to contact the listings, not the author. Also, who is the author if we are just publishing listings provided (or "authored") by the businesses?
About appearing once, would you think it is correct to use it on a page that represents a single listing? For example http://yellowpages-cambodia.com/media/publishers-graphic-designers-prepress-etc/iq-design-13728.html
Still not too convinced... though might change it to hcard anyways.
Thanks,
Miika
Heh. Sometimes I wish I never heard about semantic markup ;)

Sorry, no it's not. Address is only for contact information for the
author of the document (this would be you)... and it can only appear
once.
I think you could look at http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard for the
microformat approach, or some other list members can recommend various
options... definition lists might work well.
