Is it? Where does the spec say that the encoding should be ISO 8859-1?

All the examples in the spec have no encoding declaration so you could
argue that the only allowed encodings are UTF-8 or UTF-16.
Equally the spec says that the content-type is text/xml with no
encoding specified so, strictly, the encoding should be USASCII.
My advice to implementer on the XML-RPC list has always been to not
use an encoding declaration, and replace all non USASCII characters
with character references. I think this gives you the best change of
interoperability.
