That's interesting. I had thought of the lang attribute as well but didn't think that Roman Numerals were attached to any language in particular (as Lars points out).
I think maybe the HTML specification needs something like a num attribute that allows you to specify the numeric system (e.g. <span num="Boolean">10011</span>). Maybe this is too much classification being added to HTML though.
