Why isn’t address an inline tag?

After getting all confused by the DTD, I’ve finally figured out that

<!ELEMENT ADDRESS - - ( %inline; )* — information on author —>

means that the <address> tag can contain inline entities, but that it’s not inline itself. Darn - I was hoping to semantically wrap comment poster/trackback website information in it. Unfortunately block level entities aren’t allowed in definition lists, even if they’re set by CSS to be {display: inline;}. I wonder why it isn’t an inline element? It would be a lot more useful that way…
