Which recommends using the <dfn> tag:
Roman numerals
Another good application for this trick is the Roman numeral. We
want to
make sure our Roman numerals are accessible to users who are
unfamiliar or
have difficulty with them, but also make sure JAWS speaks them
naturally.
King Henry <a href="/glossary.html#romannums" title="the eighth"
class="gloss"><dfn title="Roman numeral eight">VIII</dfn></a>
had many wives.
I wasn't even aware of the <dfn> tag! As pointed out by E Michael
Brandt, I feel this makes the *most* semantic sense in the context I'd
like to use it.

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>.
Thanks for all your input
Cheers,
