I don't think putting this level of detail into the ul(1) manpage is the
best approach.

Would it be better to create a new manpage in section 5 to describe the
TTY-37 control sequences in all their gory detail?  You could call it
tty37_control(5) or something similar.

For comparison, there is a groff_out(5) manpage that you could use as an
example.

The benefit of a separate manpage for TTY-37 information is that any other
commands that deal with these control sequences can have their manpages
updated to refer to the tty37_control(5) manual.
