No, not like that. At all, in fact.
This is an XTerm FAQ, and you are not in the analogous situation that you purport to be in. You are abusing "VT100" to describe the current state of affairs in the world; which is most definitely not a DEC VT100, not like a DEC VT100, and most definitely different in many important respects (such as colour, for starters) to a DEC VT100. It's even different to "ANSI" (again, which should be ECMA-48) in that no terminal or terminal emulator (that I know of) actually provides standard function keys (function keys being another thing that a DEC VT100 does not have). A few of them, sort of, provide the non-standard function keys from a VT220, which isn't a VT100 either.
Far from "winning", "ANSI/VT100" was superseded (by things that were better) within a few years, long ago.
