"The ADDRESS element may be used by authors to supply contact information for a document or a major part of a document such as a form. This element often appears at the beginning or end of a document."
- eli 17y agoFair enough, but what does that add? We should use the tag so that some yet-to-be-invented web spider might be able to automatically extract contact info for the pages it crawls?
