ICK! Not if you're looking to get away from the messier side of markup.

Actually to do it properly you'd need:

<SUP><FONT SIZE="-1"><acronym title="Trademark">TM</acronym></FONT></SUP>

But if we get to cleaner markup this would be better

<span class="trademark"><acronym title="Trademark">TM</acronym></span>

But it would be much, much simpler and better to use &#8482; or &trade;
