In some sense, this could be viewed as a request for an enhancement, because
the result is correct, whether characters are encoded as character references
or appear explicitly. However, it's not an entirely satisfactory behaviour -
you probably requested ISO-8859-7 for a reason; if you didn't care, you would
have specified UTF-8 or US-ASCII.
I think the reason for the current behaviour is that the serializer is only
able to handle a single contiguous range of Unicode characters when it decides
which characters can be represented in the requested encoding. For ISO-8859-7,
the characters that can be represented are not a single contiguous range of
Unicode characters.
To top it off, I see that there is a bug in the serializer in the range of
characters specified for ISO-8859-7. It indicates that characters up to U+00FF
can be represented, but that includes many characters from the Latin-1
character set that cannot be represented in the ISO-8859-1 encoding. I'll open
a separate bug report for that.
