We don't want to simply document what we have now.  The current state of
affairs is not good.  Most people I've talked to seem to agree that it
needs to be cleaner and more information about the type of terminal and
the features the emulator will support need to be presented.  Bob Braden
made some comments a while back concerning the desirability of presenting
the control unit type as well as the terminal type, and I would like to
see some method of indicating if the emulator can handle the Yale ASCII
extensions.  Maybe we can form some kind of working group on this.  Currently
most of the people who would be affected by this is a fairly small group
and perhaps we could decide how it needs to be fixed and write an RFC
stating our findings.  I am more than willing to work on such a project.
How many others out there are interested?
