There will be one entity that does PDU encoding and decoding and this will be oFono. The reason behind this is that keeping copies of PDU encoder/decoder around in every single application is pretty much a really bad idea. We want it in one central place with a large set of unit tests and proper long term testing. This helps improving quality and ensures security and stability. Having upper layers dealing with raw PDU is a design mistake that has been made in the past way too many times. And this stops with oFono now. So if you wanna send vCards or something similar, then you need to extend oFono with interfaces to send vCards. Same goes for receiving functionality.
