tramp not respecting file-coding-system-alist (?)

[Jose Figueroa-O'Farrill]

I am using

GNU Emacs 22.0.94.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0)
of 2007-03-02 on rodrigues.inf.ed.ac.uk - Aquamacs Distribution 1.0rc1

I customized file-coding-system-alist and its present value is

(("\\.dz\\'" no-conversion . no-conversion)
 ("\\.g?z\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'" no-conversion . no-conversion)
 ("\\.tgz\\'" no-conversion . no-conversion)
 ("\\.html\\'" . utf-8)
 ("\\.tbz\\'" no-conversion . no-conversion)
 ("\\.bz2\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'" no-conversion . no-conversion)
 ("\\.Z\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'" no-conversion . no-conversion)
 ("\\.elc\\'" emacs-mule . emacs-mule)
 ("\\.utf\\(-8\\)?\\'" . utf-8)
 ("\\(\\`\\|/\\)loaddefs.el\\'" raw-text . raw-text-unix)
 ("\\.tar\\'" no-conversion . no-conversion)
 ("\\.\\(tex\\|ltx\\|dtx\\|drv\\)\\'" . latexenc-find-file-coding-system)
 ("" undecided))

In particular, HTML files should be encoded/decoded using utf-8.

I visit a utf-8 encoded HTML file on a remote Linux system via tramp
and the file fails to be decoded in utf-8.  I ftp the file locally and
visit it here and it decodes properly.

Cheers, José
