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.

I take a different view on this matter. I think that painting was the
first way of writing, letters being a later development. The first
attempts to typesetting music were clumsy indeed, but even now, when
typeset music is quite good, no printed score can equal the beauty
of, say, Bach's handwriting. In the same way that instruments
imitate, and should imitate, the cantabile of the human voice, a
printed score should, I believe, approach as much as possible the
expressive aesthetic of the handwritten music: you will agree with
the concept of typeset signs - clefs, staves, etc. - being made as
beautiful as possible.

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.
