UDK's are just like the function strings you can right now assign with
loadkeys.  Just that you don't need to run loadkeys, the application can
define actions if the UDK area isn't locked (something you can do either
with a control function or using terminal setup). Later terminals had
more functionality IIRC.

Not sure, since UDK's and loadable fonts were introduces in vt220.
Look at the pcvt docs from the *BSD sources. (they are in
arch/i386/isa/pcvt/ in an unpacked *BSD source tree, some ftp
servers like ftp.fu-berlin.de provide unpacked source trees)
