Frankly I'd just call it Bio::SeqFeature::TypedI, or in the 
unabbreviated style (which I'd personally much prefer) 
Bio::SeqFeature::TypedSeqFeatureI. (We also have Bio::Seq::RichSeqI, 
not Bio::Seq::RichI.)

I.e., the important cue that the name should give is (should be) that 
this is a strongly typed feature. Like Chris mentioned earlier there 
are different ways to achieve typing, but I don't think we will 
eventually want those different ways to be distinct from each other in 
Bioperl - the choice between untyped scruffy and typed tidy should 
suffice.

I don't know why I would want to stop you :-)
