I think TLA means "Three Letter Acronym" in some circles. So like, DBA would be a TLA meaning "database administrator" for example. Didn't read the article to get the context though, so not sure if it fits

Yes, TLA is a three letter acronym. A four letter acronym, on the other hand, is an ETLA, or “Enhanced Three Letter Acronym”. For advanced cases, you can get an EETLA (or XETLA) for Expanded/Extended Enhanced Three Letter Acronym.

Just so you know.

Yes, that was why I used it. Microsoft doco is full of unexplained TLA's - you have to already know what it means and how to use the thing. You knew what TLA meant. Now read the Miscrosoft doco where you don't know what any of the MS TLA's mean, and they don't tell you.
