Because

	a) That is the correct behavior.

	b) As far as I can recall, that is how every terminal I've ever
	   used worked.

I don't recall having ever used a DEC VT220, but if the backspace key
generated delete and the delete key generated ^[[3~ then someone screwed up.

The default is VT100, not VT220.  I don't see a kD entry in the VT100
termcap.  I don't see ^[[3~ in the VT100 termcap.  I don't recall any
screwiness with the delete key on the actual DEC VT100, although it has
been a long time since I used one.
