smsd can't tell from the error message GN_ERR_NOTIMPLEMENTED that a
message was actually present in that location, we could return a new
error message (but each application would have to special case this
new error message) or replace the compressed with a text saying
something like "A compressed message was received but libgnokii
doesn't know how to handle it."

I don't know either,that would be useful for testing, I don't know
which phones support sending or receiving compressed SMS

no, it seems they where invented after gnokii was written
if there is interest I guess it can be done easily for receiving,
while for sending we need to map the LANG variable somehow (eg. es_*
is Spanish) and we need someone that can read those non-Latin scripts
