About HtML5 Footer tag

I want to add three things in the following footer section. In which tags these should be placed?

  1. Navigation menu.
  2. Email.
  3. Copyright (Just a small line "Copyright © 2011 All Rights")
<footer>
      <address>
      Website:<br />
      <a href="www.example.com">Website
      </address>
    </footer>

PS. I am asking as I don't know if these things should be inside the <address> tag, or <p> tag or something else.

It is appropriate to put the email address in the address element if (and only if) the email address provides contact info for the page as a whole.

The current version of the HTML5 spec says, "The address element represents the contact information for its nearest article or body element ancestor."

The copyright should be enclosed in a small element as mentioned, although I don't think that you need a p, but that's just personal preference.

editing based on being correctly corrected below, ignore what's in the square brackets below

[The address element should not be used for the email address! Even the link that Alerty provides above says this! I would simply keep it within an a element within a span or div.]

1 . Navigation menu.

You should create nav tag for this. You can view an example here.

2 . Email.

For the email you should place within the address tag. You can view the details here.

3 . Copyright (Just a small line "Copyright © 2011 All Rights")

The copyright may be surrounded by the paragraph tag (<p></p>). You can view some examples of its usage on the W3C HTML5 site: 4.4.9 The footer element. You could surround it by the small tag before surrounding it by the p tag.
