   At the LaTeX user interface level, aren't the T1 encoded dc fonts
   supposed to appear indistinguishable from the OT1 encoded cm fonts?

The DC fonts left out the ?` and !` ligatures or so it seems. Since
there are no user-level macros that reach them and since the character
moved from OT1 to T1, I can tell them apart very well.  This is not a
fault of T1 per se, but since you raised the DC topic...

Last time I checked, DC fonts still had this wrong.  If I remember
correctly, the PostScript fonts with T1 encoding are OK.

Moreover, hyphenation is different.
