I'd say no. It's not an abbreviated form of the full date by any stretch of the imagination. Why not just use a span (or whatever other tag is convenient): <span title="The year 2007">MMVII</span> Functionally it's exactly the same as using ABBR. - Matthew ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
