Hmm, reconsidering slightly - I'm not sure why I though it was a head 
element.

However, I am sure it wasn't intended for physical addresses. As the 
link to the spec you provided said "for a document or a major part of a 
document such as a form", it's an address for the document author.

As Tantek points this out here:
