He uses the example of marking up an address tag similar to the below using classes (note that br's are mine for formatting): <address> <span class="street">101 Some Street, </span> <span class="subdivision">Some Sub division</span><br /> <span class="city">Alameda, </span> <span class="state">California, </span> <span class="postal">94501</span><br /> <span class="country">United States of America</span> </address> But. what if you want to include a person's name (or a business name) ABOVE the address tag? The only thing that comes immediately to mind would be <cite>John Smith</cite> but that doesn't seem correct. Or, should one use an additional span above the address block like this: <span class="contactName">John Smith</span>? So the whole thing might look like this: <span class="contactName">John Smith</span> <address> <span class="street">101 Some Street, </span> <span class="subdivision">Some Sub division</span><br /> <span class="city">Alameda, </span> <span class="state">California, </span> <span class="postal">94501</span><br /> <span class="country">United States of America</span> </address> Interested in all opinions as well as if there is any current "standard" which addresses this particular issue.
