It would be helpful to have a practical example or two. Say the blog
post was a restaurant review (using hReview). How would my software
determine that the location was that of the restaurant, rather than

lived?

Sorry, I'm not entirely clear on this - would e.g. <p class="adr">,
still be acceptable? Or are <div>and <span> special cases?
