Adr with no children (redux)

That is counter to recent discussion here (where the
consensus was that
"label" should be used for unformatted
addresses):

        <http://microformats.org/disc

to the adr & hCard cheat-sheets:

        <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-cheatsheet#Adr>

and to the warning given by Operator.

How is a parser to deal with a child-less "adr"?

I've handled child-less adr by reading the textual content
of the  
element as a full unstructured address.  This isn't useful
for  
conversion to vCard, but it's still useful semantics in
other  
contexts.  In my case, for example, some geocoding services
can take  
a full unstructured address as input, so I use it to
estimate  
coordinates for addresses.  A structured adr is still
better, of  
course, but not necessary for all use cases.

Peace,
Scott
