Interesting. In that case, should XOM escape all C1 characters when using ISO-8859-1? or the other ISO 8859 sets? Java maps the range 128-159 into the C1 controls (except for TIS-620) but could or do other transcoders behave differently?

The Unicode mapping tables for ISO 8859-1 (and 8859-11) do map the characters from 128-159 onto the Unicode code points 128-159, one to one.
