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.
