I thought you were using “FF” as a shorthand for FileFormat on
which I had no particular opinion, but following discussion
indicates you actually proposed a literal “FF“ TLNS.

In that case, I am strongly -1.

It’s opaque without explaination, and even if you know what it
means, you can’t meaningfully search on it. Both are terrible
properties for a name.
