hmm - I hadn't exactly overlooked that, so much as thinking it was out of
scope. Here's what I think you're talking about, from a 1996 file from SCO:

Mostly I'm interested in things that can be validated.

It's possible that you have found an overlooked terminal description
which is
(a) supported by a (working) terminal emulator and
(b) you can find a manual to cross-check the behavior
But I see some problems to investigate, e.g., indn/rin are using "%P1" for
one ("%p1" is expected), and omitting the parameter in the other. A later
file from Solaris fixes the "%P1" typo, but still doesn't provide a plausible
value for rin.
I'd actually expect rin to be as in ecma+index, but might be persuaded
otherwise, given a detailed manual:
# ECMA-48 does not include the VT100 indexing and scroll-margins. It has its
# own variation.
ecma+index|ECMA-48 scroll up/down,
indn=\E[%p1%dS, rin=\E[%p1%dT,
...bitsavers doesn't appear to have any useful AT&T terminal manuals.
Testing the machine's an option (though getting tack to run on Solaris 7
might be challenging).
