Very definitely the SVR2 TERMINFO(4) is wrong.  To quote:
	Terminals which ignore a linefeed immediately after an "am"
	wrap, such as the Concept and vt100, should indicate "xenl".
The description does not fit the VT100 (I don't know about the Concept).

I wasn't recommending against enabling the VT100's auto-wrap feature.
I WAS recommending leaving it out of the termcap/terminfo description.
