RFC-1060 should be incorporated into our termcap file
for the coming release!

Great idea. The only two I know about are
x11term = xterm
dec-vt220 = vt220
Recently RFC-1060 defined official names for a long list of terminals
(vt100's are dec-vt100 and 3278's are ibm-3278-e, for example) and
recently released versions of telnet are starting to use the official
names. So I would recommend looking through rfc:/mit/rfc/RFC-1060.TXT,
pages 61-64, for popular terminal types around M.I.T. and including
their "official" names.
