Comment (by celloexpressions):

 The menus system goes to horrific lengths to support menu item
 descriptions (and there's some history with them always storing something
 like the original post's excerpt there by default, which caused even
 bigger issues), so I'm really surprised there isn't a good way to
 implement them in themes currently.

 +1 for [attachment:29890.5.diff]. While I ''think'' descriptions support
 html, they really shouldn't as there are enough problems with trying to
 save too much data in menu items anyway. I'm fine with `<span>` for now,
 then we can change it if needed once we see what people might want to do
 with them once it's in Twenty Fifteen in trunk.
