It makes sense to me that GSM modems should interpret the DCS
because they have no responsibility for encoding the data.
GSM 03.38 chapter 4 makes it reasonably clear about when the DCS
value specifies 8 bit or default alphabet. Thus, if you supply
8 bit encoded data with a DCS value that indicates 7 bit encoding,
the device is entitled to complain.
This also means that Kannels approach to encoding based on UDH
presence/absence is broken now that the DCS value is exposed at the sendsms
interface.
