| 14 | Escape sequences have been designed for communication with peripheral |
| 15 | devices, not for markup or as a storage format. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Also "future colorful display" generally won't be portabe because |
| 18 | escape sequences depend on the setting of the TERM variable. (And |
| 19 | again, software that emits them with TERM=dumb or TERM unset is |
| 20 | broken.) |
