Google suggests that you found that on w3schools.com. W3Schools is not, in
any way, affiliated with the W3C and has numerous errors. They should not
be considered authoritative.

As previously mentioned, the element specifies contact information for the
document. That contact information might take the form of a postal address.

So, if I were to write a page and wanted to include my contact details on
it, then I could use the address element to markup my postal address. On
the other hand, if I were listing registered charities with interests in
wildlife, then it would not be an appropriate element to use to provide
contact details for the RSPCA and RSPB.
