Well, I've got a station license and a RRO and a MRO. I didn't take
any DSC elements for the MRO (none were offered). I don't have a DSC
radio but would it be illegal for me to use one? Also, sailmail (tm)
has always asserted that a station license and a RRO are all you need
to operate HF PACTOR in international or US waters. Are they wrong?

I suspect that operating a SailMail Pactor Station without at least a
Marine Radio Operators Permit would be a violation as per 80.165.
The above transmissions would come under Ship Narrowband Direct-printing
Telegraph.
