Letters in Chainring Specs?

Looking at Specialized's site, some specs for chainrings also have letters:

44A x 32S x 22S

I searched a bit but didn't find anything on what the letters mean. Anybody know?

That is the number of the teeth on the chain rings.
Don't know what the letters are?

I'd guess... what they are made of .. A= aluminum, S= steel ..
a reasonable material choice for all 3 ..
