Why not use the <address> tag and a definition list? I believe that also
helps a little with localised SEO :)
 
<address>
John Doe<br />
123 Acacia Avenue<br />
Suburb State Postal Code<br />
</address>

<dl>
<dt>Tel:</dt><dd>888 9581 4077</dd>
<dt>Fax:</dt><dd>888 9581 2835</dd>
</dl>

Personally, IF the address had a name associated with it, I would use a
definition list. 

 

However, there are some purists out there that can't see beyond using a dl
for anything other than defining a word.  But John Doe is a term and his
address, phone number, etc are describing him:

 

John Doe

123 Acacia Avenue

Suburb State Postal Code

Tel 888 9581 4077

Fax 888 9581 2835

 

Can be marked up as the following (including microformats)

 

<dl class="vcard ">

<dt class="fn org">John Doe</dt>

<dd class="adr"><strong class='street-address">123 Acacia Avenue</strong>

<span class="postal-code">Suburb State Postal Code</span></dd>

<dd class="tel"><span class="type">tel</span>: <strong class="value">888
9581 4077</strong></dd>

<dd class="tel"><span class="type">fax</span>: <strong class="value">888
9581 2835</strong></dd>

</dl>

Can anyone guide me re. best practice for marking-up physical addresses that
would appear like this:

 

123 Acacia Avenue

Suburb State Postal Code

Tel 888 9581 4077

Fax 888 9581 2835

 

Or is it acceptable to keep all in <p> and use </br>'s

 

TIA

 

Henrik
