Why not just put the word 'Present' in the span by default? So, non-JS
users will get "Copyright 2000-Present', JS users will get "Copyright
2000-$currentYear". Or, if you don't like that, move the 2000 into the
span, and have "Copyright <span>since 2000</span>" for non-JS,
"Copyright <span>2000-$currentYear</span>" for JS users.
