They're only checked for syntax in ncurses source code, as are others which are documented in terminfo.src, in the section "NCURSES USER-DEFINABLE CAPABILITIES". That's the effect of listing them in Caps-ncurses. The syntax check ensures consistency for the number and types of parameters (in tic), but (for example) ncurses doesn't use these query and response strings to control its behavior, they're not actually used by ncurses. user_caps documents those which are actually used in ncurses. I keep that distinction to avoid having to make precise definitions for things (i.e., expected behavior) that are outside the scope of the ncurses library. -- Thomas E.
