As ISPF does?  I have never had a DBCS 3270.  I understand
they exist.  I have set a SBCS x3280 to CP-880 and nicely
viewed with ISPF a UTF-8 file containing a mixture of
Latin and Cyrillic characters.  I didn't need to supply
ISPF any command options -- it picked up the CCSID from
the file tag.

OpenExtensions strikes me as a relatively halfhearted design.
