Interesting. I like that. The acronym tag takes a lang attribute, so is there anything wrong with <acronym lang="la" title="part 5">V</acronym>? Is marking up the language here excessive?

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.
