I disagree :

- WoT is an acronym for a generic term, Web of Trust, that I couldn't
find anywhere in FMS' interface. I saw peers, peer trust... but not WoT.
I don't think that an anonymous-unofficial-prototype using the word in
its code is a sufficient reason to change the name of an official
plugin. WoT is a feature, not a copyrighted brand.
- FMS means Freenet Message System, which is quite generic too. The word
Freenet in its name suggest that it is an official client, whereas it is
not.
- I think I read somewhere that the FMSplugin was not going to be
compatible with the prototype, maybe I'm wrong, please confirm.

As a general concern, I don't think that the primary objective of the
project is to be compatible with third-party unsupported prototypes.
