dBFS has not got a damn thing to do with sine waves or reference levels
or anything in the analogue world.

Well actually *dB Full Scale*, by simple definition can be the *full scale
dB value* of any digital OR analog system. It's use now is more commonly
connected to digital systems of course.

What is the full scale of an analogue system? Is it where it starts to
get nonlinear, where it gets really nonlinear, or where it stops and won't
go any more at all?

dBFS isn't really useful on a system that does not clip abruptly and
simultaneously on all stages.
