D&D 3E/3.5 Dispel Magic changed in 3.5?

Heck, you could make a Sense Motive check and know that "Billy Bob's been charmed or sumptin'" - I couldn't see ruling out a spellcraft check in the exact same circumstances.

The effects of the spell - confusion, in this case - is that "Billy Bob's actin' funny."

But billy bob could be acting funny because he's dominated. Or geased. Or insane.

I think if you don't know exactly what the spell is, then you've just got to hit the guy with a broad-band 'nuke everything' dispel until you get the one you want.

And that's what the Spellcraft check is for.
