While it is true that modern browsers support this kind of
functionality this does still not make it a good idea.

A link like

<a href="#">Address Info <span>Our Company our road and and and and
and</span></a>

Does not make much sense without the visual presentation. JavaScript
and DOM on the other hand can easily turn a construct like

<h4 class="trigger">Address Info</h4>
<address>
...
</address>

Into a clickable pair,  which is also keyboard accessible.

I am not at home at the moment which is why I cannot set up a quick
test, but the idea is explained at:

I found an older test that was an answer on thelist once, that does
this, but needs some fixing (return false on the click function for
starters):
