I, for one, do not see the value in either letters or parentheses. For me, they are visual noise. Letters more so than parentheses, as they are more similar to digits. There is no ambiguity between line and column number. Line, as the most significant item, obviously goes to the left, while the least significant column goes to the right. Same as hundreds:tens:ones. Same as /home/myuser/mydir/myfile. Same as year-month-day hour:minute:second. (Contrary to site.domain.tld though.) I customize my modeline to display them as nnn:nn. (My two roubles in this bikeshedding contest.)
