i think address 'stinks' in this context for other reasons as well...  
I can think of a number of cases where the resume information is just  
content and doesn't have a direct link back to the authorship of a  
page itself. Be it professional bios where the address is reserved  
for more globally applicable information or company info, job listing  
sites, any page with multiple resumes of members of some sort, etc.

I know most of the current hresume examples found on the wiki are "my  
resume" type web pages from personal sites, but I don't want to be  
too quick to overlook or rule out some of the non-DTD reasons for  
needing alternatives to overloading the address element
