 While paragraph, div, and the stack of H levels make sense in the context
 of the formatselect in TinyMCE, <address> does not. It's inclusion seems
 arbitrary though I've been told it is a default from the application. The
 concern is that due to the  poorly understood nature of the tag it is
 likely to be used erroneously if at all.

 I propose removing it permanently to avoid user error.

 For reference, this is the description of the <address> tag as per MDN:

 "The HTML <address> Element may be used by authors to supply contact
 information for its nearest <article> or <body> ancestor; in the latter
 case, it applies to the whole document."
