Answer 4

<address> from W3C:

The address element provides contact information for a document or part of a document. Information provided by address may include the names of the document’s maintainers, links to the maintainers’ Web pages, e-mail addresses for feedback, postal addresses, phone numbers, and so on. The address element is not appropriate for all postal and e-mail addresses; it should be reserved for providing such information about the contact people for the document. W3C HTML5 specification

Use <address> for addresses that are in fact the relevant contact information for a document or section of a document. Do not use it to represent arbitrary addresses.

For more detailed Address information it is recommended to use Microdata. Search Engines recognize Microformats, Microdata and RDFa, but Microdata is recommended.

Here is the Microdata Postal Address page with examples.You will be able to specify streetAddress, postalCode, telephone etc.
