Well if "TT" stands for ThirtyTwo (as in 32 bit processor) then ST
must stand for SixTeen (as in 16 bit processor). XE stood for _Eight
and XL stood for _Last. 

Oh, and the question about "will the TT have a PMMU?" Assuming they
really do use the 68030 (and everyone at Atari has always said they
would) They get the PMMU for free, just like 80386 users.
