I guess this must have been for XEmacs, as this is a snippet from M-x
list-coding-systems RET (for Emacs 21.4):

u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8)
  UTF-8 encoding for Emacs-supported Unicode characters.

So: utf-8 is actually an alias, and as I see of some previous
discussions on this, mule-utf-8 is also in the CVS for Emacs 22.x.

FWIW, I had the opposite problem of Dave Love in:

        
http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net/1923510.html

as bbdb silently changed to iso-2022-7bit, even when I changed the
file heading to have utf-8, because of the previously mentioned
defconst.  

I don't consider myself an UTF-8 fundamentalist, but since that is the
encoding I (actually the distro) use by default, I want to use that
for .bbdb too.

When it comes to utf-8 vs mule-utf-8, the NEWS file for 22.1 only
mentions utf-8, but not quoted, so it could refer to the generic term
and not the coding system.  More at:
