No, you hit upon the best way.  Unfortunately the % signature for  
spans in Textile doesn't take a title option like links and acronyms.   
Textile intends for you to use HTML inline when necessary, so go right  
ahead with your span tags, though you shouldn't need the double-equals  
for escapement.

Should be able to do <span title="explanatory text">multi word stuff,  
not upper case</span> without problem.
