Oops, you're right. Whether the numbers are displayed or not, to be
semantically correct, it would be ol. I agree that the default syling
should not be a consideration any more than it should be a
consideration marking something up as h1 because you want it big and
bold or blockquote for indenting.

I'm beginning to believe that there may not be a semantically correct
element which would bring us back to Jukka's
<div class="address">
<div class="addressee">Somebody</div>
<div class="streetaddress">xxx some street</div>
<div class="location">city, state/province, zip and/or country</div>
</div>

or some such semantic structure.
