I want to add some semantic markup to the following text to make it easier to style in the future:
Tel: 01000 000 000
Fax: 01000 000 001
E-mail:
Some of you may suggest shoving a <span> around "Tel:", "Fax:" etc, but I was wondering if it'd be appropriate use of the <label> tag.
or can label ONLY be used when referencing a form element?

<label> tag as non-form-related semantic markup?
Seb,
I would define semantic markup as using the correct elements for their correct purpose only, therefore it would be inappropriate to use the label tag.
How suitable would the <address> element be for your situation?

Ooooh, the address tag! Haven't seen that used in a long time!
Definitely go with address - very cool and unknown tag.

well it's not an address. I'm looking for something to put around the three "titles" so that I can style them differently from the data. If this was in a table they'd be <th> and the data <td>, etc. But they're not in a table.

Maybe I should be using:
<dl>
<dt>Tel:</dt> <dd>01000 000 000</dd>
<dt>Fax:</dt> <dd>01000 000 000</dd>
<dt>Email:</dt> <dd>[email protected]</dd>
</dl>
