Yes, it's a HTML4 hangup... I still don't understand why though and would like it changed. Perhaps not a very compelling argument, but I stand by "I would like to structure address information using lists and tables where appropriate". For example, you may have multiple contacts (e.g. regional offices) and wish to use a table to present that information. You can use a table, or address, but not both (not if you care about conformance). Here's the HTML 4.01 reference, showing address has an inline content model. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#edef-ADDRESS On 8/8/07, Anne van Kesteren <annevk@opera.com> wrote: > On Tue, 07 Aug 2007 16:04:04 +0200, Ben Boyle <benjamins.boyle@gmail.com> > wrote: > > 2.
