RTFW. ;)

The answer to this question is partially in the background of the
development of those two formats.

http://microformats.org/wiki/adr#Introduction_and_Background

which links to:

http://microformats.org/wiki/geo-bof-2005-06-30

which contains minutes of that BOF meeting, as well as a link to:

http://microformats.org/wiki/location-formats

which specifically lists what people are publishing on the web currently:

http://microformats.org/wiki/location-formats#What_People_are_Publishing

several use cases can be found there.

In addition, on the geo spec page, there is a real world example that is
analyzed:
