This site is the first Google search result for "HTML address tag" and as such I'll bet a lot more people learn about it at places like this than the W3C specification which means probably tons of <address> tags used for reasons other than just the author of the current page.

Jan, If I understand it correctly it comes down to the definition of the address tag. It is designed to markup information related to the author of a particular page (if this is true then you can use the address tag). I am sure if this is incorrect someone will correct me.
