How about <acronym title="Year two thousand and five in Roman numerals">MMV</acronym> You could use <abbr> but that won't show as a tooltip in IE. Would that work in non-visual browsers? And yes, I would consider it necessary - to suddenly be confronted with a speech reader trying to interpret (e.g.) MMV as a word would be confusing.

Would you consider it necessary for AAA-level compliance to mark up Roman numerals, and if so, how would you do it? My thought would be something like: ...its fifth international disability advocacy conference, Shared World <span lang="la" title="5">V</span>. Is there preferred markup for Roman numerals? Thanks.
