I'd like to include a mailing address in the page I'm working on. I was
wondering if I should use the <pre> tag, or if I should just use <p> and
put <br> after each line of the address, so it will look like a mailing
address across several lines?

One thing against <pre> is that it puts it in fixed-width font, although
I guess my styles can override that. But is there a preferred method to
do something like this? <pre> looks like it can get out of control, so I
don't want to abuse it. (Plus, it doesn't look all that nice in the
markup, because you can't line it up with everything else!) :)
