I _STRONGLY_ don't agree (but that is good isn't it? :-)
You are _right_ in saying that the escape codes only should be acten on in the console driver though.
printk _KNOWS_ what sequences it can handle, and can _easily_ be told to not log other sequences.
Example: "Hello %E3[K4world%E3[K2\n" (note: bogus esc seqences) %En could be defined as meaning an escape sequence of length n.
