NACK.  You're not the first person to propose this change.  However, 
"iff" is an English word (albeit archaic) which is shorthand for "if and 
only if", which has a distinct logical meaning separate from the weaker 
"if".  Spelling it out in longhand instead of calling it a typo is 
probably acceptable, though.
