Not true at all. Any encoding that you use with XML gives access to a
subset of the full unicode character set as character data, other
characters not in that encoding have to be accessed by character
references (&#1234;) and can not be used in element and attribute names.

utf-8 encoding encodes the whole of unicode which means you can use
_all_ unicode characters as character data and in element names
(including German, but also arabic, japanese, ...)

If you use iso-8859-1 then you are restricted to 200 or so characters
that may be used in element names and accessed as character data.
