It makes no real difference.  Infact, in the examples in the spec,
divs and spans are simply used for demonstrational purposes.
Generally, you should be making every effort to mark up the
information as semantically as possible and this is often done without
using any divs or spans at all (and instead using lists, paragraphs,
etc. and putting the classes on these).  So - yeah.  That shouldn't be
your issue.

I can't spot anything out of the oridinary above.  I'd have done the address as:

<div class="adr">
<span class="street-address"><%= rs("Street1") %>&nbsp; <%=
rs("Street2") %></span></div>

but that's about it.  Sorry :(

What's does your result look like (with the extra commas)?
