Because <address>, or <blockaddr>/<addr>, is to specific to just
addresses. Any form of contact information should be able to be marked
up like phone, fax, email,URIs, etc..., not just addresses. Or, what if
a form in the document was specifically for contacting the someone, like
the author, or whoever the document is about. Would it not be useful to
markup that whole section in a <blockcontact> element?
<blockcontact>
<!-- insert XForm markup here -->
</blockcontact>
Marking that up in address would not make sense, because it's not an
address, but it's still a contact method.
So, basically, I agree with the whole concept of the
<blockaddr>/<addr> elements, but just think the name is not generic enough.
