What would 'enabling an address family for an interface' do ? Whatever it does should probably be stated explicitly. The one argument for <address> tags is that it makes it cleaner to bundle addressing info like <ip> and routing info, to make sure that the user doesn't specify ipv6 routes for an interface without ipv6 addresses.
