As far as I know, it stands for "as far as I know".
Regarding the typesetting practice, I often view handwriting as more or less
clumsy attempts to imitate what is done in well typeset printed music,
not the
other way around.

What does AFAIK stand for?
Certainly, the dots make practical, besides systematical and
didactical, sense in handwriting music; this in itself is a good
reason to transfer their use to typeset music, which should reflect
the way it is written by hand.
Also, that music theory is at the same time pedagogy is an old and
good concept.

AFAIK, the dots are usefull when the music is handwritten: it is
sometime
difficult to read the exact position of the clef, or the writer may
have made an
error and correct it that way.
But this is IMHO not usefull in printed music.
