I think there are at least two alternative easy ways to go in that case:

1.) Convert iso-8859-1 to ascii by htmlentities() before sending:

     http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php

2.) set XAJAX_DEFAULT_CHAR_ENCODING to  iso-8859-1 befor you instantiate
    xajax as the documentation suggests:

    http://wiki.xajaxproject.org/Documentation:xajaxResponse.inc.php#xajaxResponse_.28string_.24sEncoding.3DXAJAX_DEFAULT_CHAR_ENCODING.2C_bool_.24bOutputEntities.29
    http://wiki.xajaxproject.org/Documentation:xajax.inc.php#Global_Constants

If you want to avoid the constant in case 2.), you have to set the
encoding for the request and the response object separately.
