You're absolutely right that we shouldn't, I was just pointing out the need to 
always be paranoid ;)

So this part really only talks about the modem performing character set 
conversion between GSM and IRA/UCS2/UTF8 or whatever is set by CSCS.  I 
suspect the DCS is simply never looked at by most networks/modems :)

until we find a network / modem that supports this stuff properly.
