Putting it in "is" happens to work for the pc3 entry because only the "so" 
colors are being fiddled with.  In general you might want different colors
for bold, underline, etc.  And some systems don't provide separate colors
for standout and normal, so special standout colors can only be set in "so" 
and turned off in "se".  What I really want is fixed separate colors for all
the ANSI attributes.  I hacked pcvt to provide them, and set them in
~/.profile.
