My overall thought is that generally terminfo is an old outdated concept. If you want to know what capabilities your terminal has and whether it can do some rare esoteric things, just ask it. If you're trying to do generally standard stuff then they all ought to behave the same. In either case, there's no need to consult a probably out-of-date database on the wrong machine that can't talk to the actual terminal in question.
