If you DC couple then you need to look at the CMR of the receiver, the 
CMV of the transmitter, and the amount of CM noise that can exist 
between the two in your application.  CM differences are common between 
FPGA SERDES that seek to accommodate many signaling standards and ASICs 
/ ASSPs built to a particular standard.  AC coupling is common practice 
with FPGA SERDES.  Coupling capacitors reject CM differences between the 
Tx and Rx that occur below the cut-off frequency.  OOB signaling in some 
standards have stuck us unpleasant side-effects of low cut-off 
frequencies and large coupling capacitors.  They also do less than nice 
things for TIE in the timing recovery.
