I think you miss the point. A legal ID is for the FCC and other 
authorities to ID a station. THEY can use RDS. A station identifies 
itself to the audience in various ways. It is a North American oddity 
that this can involve call letters.  The existing legal ID rule is a 
stupid solution that is technologically way out of date.
