<para>
Within an <sgmltag>Address</sgmltag>, <sgmltag>OtherAddr</sgmltag> is a wrapper for
parts of an address other than <sgmltag>Street</sgmltag>, <sgmltag>POB</sgmltag>,
<sgmltag>Postcode</sgmltag>, <sgmltag>City</sgmltag>, <sgmltag>State</sgmltag>,
<sgmltag>Country</sgmltag>, <sgmltag>Phone</sgmltag>, <sgmltag>Fax</sgmltag>, and
<sgmltag>Email</sgmltag>, all of which have elements specific to their
content.
</para>

<para>
In early versions of DocBook, <sgmltag>Address</sgmltag> was not allowed to
contain character data (it was a database-like collection of fields).
In that context, a wrapper was necessary for any random pieces of information
that might be required for an address.
With the introduction of character data directly in the <sgmltag>Address</sgmltag> 
element, <sgmltag>OtherAddr</sgmltag> may have lost most of its
<foreignphrase>raison d'&ecirc;tre</foreignphrase>.
