there is no such thing as an xsl:address instruction in any version of 
XSLT, would suggest u use a different element name (or more precisely a
different namespace).

once again, u seem to want to put everything in the xsl namespace (using
xsl: prefix).....no need for this.

As for how you would crack/split apart the <address/>  element, I would
suggest to use a combination of

string-before() or string-after()

(info here
http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTreference/Output/function_substring-after.html)

or

regex approach with EXSLT at http://www.exslt.org/regexp/index.html

or

if u are using XSLT v2.0 then use its native regex processing capability.
