No, that's breaking it at the wrong level.   It's easily fixed,
I posted the answer here earlier.

You need:

    xmodmap -e 'keycode 59 = Delete'

And the following resources to get xterm to behave:

    XTerm*DeleteIsDEL: true
    XTerm*BackarrowKey: false
    XTerm*TtyModes: erase ^?

I don't know if just putting them into .Xresources is enough... I'm
loading them manually from my .xinitrc.
