Note that I am not an expert, but what I've seen in the docbook 3.1 dtd, I
think you can use both. However, they are semantically different, as the
form <email></email> is to insert a given e-mail within the text, and
<address><email></email></address> is to define a component of the
person's address, frequently set at the beginning, when stating the
authors of a document.
