Unintended cursor positioning sequences are usually not necessary for the messag
e to appear as intended. They could just be stripped and the display program/scr
ipt handle auto-line wrap or whatever, as appropriate for the client's terminal
width.
Intended cursor positioning is used to create animation ("ANSImation") effects.
If you strip the cursor positioning sequences, then you lose this ability and on
ly the "final result" (e.g. last screen of an animation sequence) would be displ
ayed to the user.
