+# d) the BEL (^G or \007) used in the original title-as-statusline came from 
+#    David J. MacKenzie's "pseudo-color" entry in 20 Apr 1995.  At that time
+#    xterm used BEL as the string-terminator rather than ST (\E\\).  Either
+#    BEL or ST has worked since xterm patch #28 in 1996, but most uses of

+# But that issue regarding the parameter for tsl means that applications may
+# not rely on it.  The SVr4 documentation says tsl will "move to status line,
+# column #1".  At the point in time when ESR added DJM's "pseudo-color" entry
+# with the split-up escape sequence for tsl/fsl, there were 65 entries using
+# tsl:
+#    32 used a parameter, matching the documentation (including x10term).
+#    21 used a parameterless control, exiting from the status line on ^M.
+#     6 used parameterless controls for tsl and fsl
+#     6 used a split-up escape sequence, e.g., the same approach.
 #
 # The extension "TS" is preferable, because it does not accept a parameter.
 # However, if you are using a non-extended terminfo, "TS" is not visible.
