None of these are very well supported I'm afraid.
I would go for:
<abbr title="the very long piece of text">the very...</abbr>
Or for msie... [sigh]
<abbr
title="the very long piece of text"><span class="abbr"
title="the very long piece of text">the very...</span></abbr>

or something like nicetitles
<http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/nicetitle/>

Or even put your information in a <input type="text">
You could style its width and it would remain selectable.

Or put it in a span and style it with overflow hidden.

I guess I drunk one too many coffees.
