Answer 1

You do not need to have <address> to make a valid document, and if you have other links in there besides email, it is not invalid or even necessarily wrong. It's only really "wrong" if you're using <address> to markup any old address information, regardless of context.

The <address> tag is used to indicate contact information for the owner or maintainer of the document/site. For example, if you are using it to indicate the owner of the document/site you might use:

This site is maintained by: 
<address>
   <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Miki</a>
</address>

If you want to add other information related to contacting the person in the <address> area, you can:

This site is maintained by: 
<address>
   Miki (<a href="mailto:[email protected]">email</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/someone">twitter</a>, etc)
</address>

Here's some straightforward info about the <address> element.
