It is possible in most cases, you are right. The problem is that not all mud clients support telnet negotiations. Most do not identify themselves. And those that do can have that ID changed or removed by the user. There is a document at that breaks down client capabilities nicely.

I will add my agreement that the only way to gauruntee a feature you want is to code your own client or require one particular client.

Also, it is very safe to assume ANSI support. I have yet to come across any client that does not at least trap and ignore escape codes. This does not there is not one, of course. But why worry about that .1%?
