Remember that you can have any custom icon you want for a file - just copy/paste a graphic of your choice into the Finder's Get Info window for that file.

If you want to open an HTML file in a particular application, don't double-click its icon, right-click on it, and use Open With... This way, you can look at HTML files in Safari, Mozilla, BBEdit, and so on, depending on the need of the moment.

If you use something like CocoThumbX to generate custom preview icons, the icon will consist of an approximation of the web page (it tries to render the HTML and place a thumbnail view of it in the icon), if it's an HTML document. It doesn't update automatically, though, which is a shame.

What you see in the Finder and what happens when you 'open' the file in the Finder are not always the same thing.
