[jdev] SMS transport - more precisions

[Sébastien Falquier]

Thanks Peter,

It is a pity that the JGF no longer exists because a JEP-0114 compliant framework would simplify a lot component developement.
Moreover, since I have never coded in Python, I had a look to JSO and I start wondering how to do the job...
