Semantic markup for an address using microformats

I read microformats for my markup of addresses on the sites I'm building, the general consensus is to mark the address like this ...

<h1 class="org">Orpheum Theatre</h1>
Madison, WI
<div class="address">
    <div class="adr">
        <div class="street-address">216 State St</div>,
        <span class="locality">Madison</span>,
        <span class="region">WI</span>
        <span class="postal-code"> 53703</span>
        <span class="country">United States</span>
    </div>
</div>

What interests me is why the combination and coincidence of div / span tags? does it matter or is the only real thing about class tags?

thank

Perhaps you should take a look at http://schema.org/ . They have a different approach, which is supported by large search engines. There are also links to various testing tools to make sure that you format the format correctly.

The markup doesn't matter, just the class names. Most microformat examples are executed using div and span and blagh. I prefer ulfor my hcards. It is easy.
