Or kgi-0.9 (http://kgi.sourceforge.net), which also has a quite
modular scroller/parser implementation.

As of the specifications, there is a useable (not really good, but) one
included with the X11 source tree, which documents the xterm control set.

However, most of this stuff is historically grown and attendance of a 
good 'history in terminals' lesson might be required before you understand
the fine details involved :-))
