Er, do you mean "format (1)" and "one address per paragraph"?

It's the only one that works consistently with the current code.  Plus,=20
(2) and (3) are both somewhat incorrect anyway (any pod renderer gets=20
to put the stuff from (2) on a single line and as for (3), pod2html=20
doesn't render links in literal paragraphs.)
