Invalid "adr" on Flickr

Flickr is displaying invalid adr microformats, for example
in:

        <http://www.flickr.com/photos/pigsonthewing/718713806>


The relevant mark-up, in the above example, is:

        <li id="li_location"
            class="Stats adr">

        <span id="div_pre_geo_block">   
</span>

        <a id="a_place_on_map_old"
           href="[...]"
           style="display:inline"
           class="Plain">

            Place this photo on a map

        </a>

        </li>

(note empty span)

I'm not sure why this is invalid? It's not exactly
"good  
programming", but a parser should just ignore that as
it's not part  
of the microformat.

(Note: That code wasn't in the webpage when I went to it but
that's  
irrelevant)

The "adr" has no children; at least one is
required.
