Can you provide examples of people publishing such a legend,

See http://investor.google.com/fin_data.html - top legend. These are
very common in tabular reporting.
I don't see anything like "1 cent is 1/100th of a US dollar" on that
page.
Of the two models, which do you think would be easier, for publishers?
I think in your example, the easiest for publisher would be to mark up
"cent" as the unit/denomination and as the currency as in:
<span class="hmoney">10 <span class="unit" title="cent"><span
class="currency" title="USD">cents</span></span></span>
You didn't answer my question; and your example has titles on spans. How
do you think they would work?
Which do you think would be more efficient - +/- 1 million publishers
make that statement, including it in the code of, say, 100 parsers?
A parser can embed in its implementation the definition that "a cent =
one 100th of a dollar". Or, this definition can be declared somewhere,
ideally marked up via POSH so that the parser is generic.
So are you now retracting your suggestion that publishers include such
statements on their pages?
