I agree. However it does have a slightly better semantic meaning than
<abbr>, since we are really translating from one language to another
here, not expanding an abbreviation, and surely more meaning than <span>.

How about <dfn title="Year 2007">>MMVII</dfn> ?
I think this may stretch the meaning of DFN. A "defining instance" is the
occurrence of the term where the term is defined. It does not enclose the actual
definition. It also should only occur once per page for each defined term.
