There is already a conflict between the Linux console escapes and ECMA 48's 
SDS.  (And do we really like ECMA?)

       ESC [ 1 ; n ]       Set color n as the underline color
       ESC [ 2 ; n ]       Set color n as the dim color
       ESC [ 8 ]           Make the current color pair the default attributes.
       ESC [ 9 ; n ]       Set screen blank timeout to n minutes.
       ESC [ 10 ; n ]      Set bell frequency in Hz.
       ESC [ 11 ; n ]      Set bell duration in msec.
       ESC [ 12 ; n ]      Bring specified console to the front.
       ESC [ 13 ]          Unblank the screen.
       ESC [ 14 ; n ]      Set the VESA powerdown interval in minutes.

I looked through http://bjh21.me.uk/all-escapes/all-escapes.txt quoted above.  
A lot of that private space is already used for private functions - which is 
possibly the reason that the ']' terminator was chosen for those Linux 
console escapes.

# Mary had a little lamb in shell script:
exec > /dev/console
echo -ne '\e[11;245]'
echo -ne '\e[10;323]\a' ; sleep 0.25
echo -ne '\e[10;287]\a' ; sleep 0.25
echo -ne '\e[10;256]\a' ; sleep 0.25
echo -ne '\e[10;287]\a' ; sleep 0.25,
echo -ne '\e[10;323]\a' ; sleep 0.25
echo -ne '\e[10;323]\a' ; sleep 0.25
echo -ne '\e[11;490]'
echo -ne '\e[10;323]\a' ; sleep 0.50

Without the sleeps, the above code makes a single beep.  With a pause code, it 
would be rewritten something like:

{
echo -ne '\e[11;245]'
echo -ne '\e[10;323]\a\e[42;0;250000]'
echo -ne '\e[10;287]\a\e[42;0;250000]'
echo -ne '\e[10;256]\a\e[42;0;250000]'
echo -ne '\e[10;287]\a\e[42;0;250000]'
echo -ne '\e[10;323]\a\e[42;0;250000]'
echo -ne '\e[10;323]\a\e[42;0;250000]'
echo -ne '\e[11;490]'
echo -ne '\e[10;323]\a\e[42;0;500000]'
