With all this talk about what is the right binding of which key, and
what termcap lacks, it seems the time is ripe for someone to build (in
elisp) an interactive keymap builder.  It prompts for a key to bind,
you type it, it asks what function to put there (or what other key's
binding to copy), and so on.  Output would be elisp to set your keymap
that way (based perhaps on the terminal type you are using at the
time).  Perhaps it also knows about or tracks function key labels;
this could be used by help-w (where-is).  Then load the keymap as part
of your .emacs.  Collect 'em and trade 'em with your friends.

Anyone twiddling their thumbs this summer?
