Yes, some of these language variants are mandated by certain regulators, some by operators. So certainly the default SMS alphabet should be a main.conf item. Whether or not to provide a corresponding D-Bus property is then a separate question. Neither the validity period nor the alphabet strike me as ones desperately needing a property, but especially the alphabet might actually need one since it has such nasty backwards compatibility issues.
