The examples are just that. IMHO, as a general rule, the address published in whois should be an address where legal process can be served regarding the network.
I know that in some case, the address listed in whois is a P.O. Box. I doubt that anyone has implemented a SWIP-sized network inside a post office box. I suspect the USPS would frown on such a thing, actually.
