Bill Shannon's point was that those applications for which pixel array size is important are not necessarily going to be talking to a terminal-like interface. It is certainly *possible* to do graphics and window management through such an interface; whether this is *desirable* is another matter. Until it is established that all implementations will provide access to graphics or a window system through the terminal interface, it is inappropriate to require the terminal interface to supply data not applicable to plain text characters.
