I'd think that's inconsistent with DECUDK, which uses a shifted function
key to get the string that is assigned with that escape sequence. In
XFree86 xterm I use a control-modifier rather than shift-modifier.

Several packagers have setup app-defaults files that assign shift-functionkey
to the Fn+10 (or Fn+12) range, but that removes functionality from xterm,
which can be switched to provide PC-style escape sequences that tell what
modifiers (shift, control, alt, meta) are used.
