I am ok with that.

My understanding was that OSC sequences are more related to ECMA because
the most precise description I read is here:
https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-48/
but Wikipedia page on ANSI escape sequences tends to present OSC
sequences as a particular case of ANSI sequences, aligned with your
suggestion,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#OSC_(Operating_System_Command)_sequences.

We could use the prefix ansi-osc- which isn't that long.
