I was looking at the scrolling.  Had not noticed this before, but at some point
since the terminfo for cons25 was written, the corresponding code was modified
to accept the vt100 scrolling control (which by the way is not part of
ISO-6429).  The terminfo entry in ncurses uses the analogous SU/SD sequences
which are in ISO-6429.  Scrolling regions also aren't part of ISO-6429 - one of
those odd things that you should be aware of.

(I don't have a copy of the older ANSI spec, but since it was withdrawn several
years ago, there's no point in discussing which features from it might not be
part of ISL-6429).
