I would gently suggest naming it filefs or something; ffs already means https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?ffs(7)

That said - good idea/approach; seems like an excellent way to cleanly extend the unix approach to structured file formats:)

Op’s ffs do not target FreeBSD and it l seems like referenced system is FreeBSD only. Claiming naming rights is a stretch here

That's ahistorical. FFS is the berkeley Fast File System, from BSD 4.2, in 1983.
