Thank you for your in-depth analysis! What concerns me primarily is
the conflict with other force fields (like ff12 and glycam). The
problem is, as Dave stated, a namespace problem.
I can see people trying to use GLYCAM and parm.frosst together, or
even the "latest and greatest" amber force field (which has a lot more
atom type definitions to accommodate new parameters and to
differentiate them from existing parameters).
Some of these will have name clashes with some of these other force
fields, and especially with GLYCAM (which uses a different charge
derivation scheme than Amber, I think) will be more detrimental than
others.
I think a global change to the lower-case gaff convention would be
best, since that's probably the force field that is least likely to be
used alongside parm.frosst (unless I'm mistaken?).
All the best,
Jason
