No, there's no practical reason, really. In fact, since some browsers
(at least IE) don't support :before yet, this solution actually breaks
the design, compared to writing an explicit header in the HTML file.

It's just that I like to do things in an elegant way. I figured that
there's no point marking an address with the <address> tag if one still
has to write out "address:" before it. I thought it would be nicer if
the address tag took care of it by itself. And since it doesn't break
terribly (I can live without the header in IE), I think I will use Oli's
solution.
