ISO-8859-1 is a (mostly) proper subset, but not the reverse.
That isn't strictly true.
Agreed. If it was 'strictly true' one might say 'strictly' not (mostly).

Put it another way - the differences are generally self-evident and
harmless for human-readable documentation, may or may not be deadly to
machine parsing.
Depending on platform and tools, there can be other surprises - such as
copying a string inscrutably/erroneously displayed in a browser, pasting
it into an editor and finding that one has the correct characters after all.
But better not to count on that...
