That would break just about all TSO full screen applications, and
probably CICS as well. I'd rather see an extension[1] to the protocol
that supported dynamic screen sizes for be applications while leaving
existing applications alone. I'd also like to see active support for
WSA.
[1] Possibly the existing explicit partion support would be enough
in conjunction with an "attempt resize" notification.
