On vacation with only a phone so I can't type a long response.  I'm sorry, but I am not in favor of this idea.  ChessV expects pieces to have the same notation for both players (except for case.)  It would require a lot of changes to change that.  I don't mind changing things if there is a good reason but I don't like to complicate the system just to benefit one game.  I am doubtful this has any real advantage outside CwDA.  I think two letter notations would be best, but I understand that could be a radical change (needing to code in understanding of the prefix.)  I can live with heavy use of the suffixes.
