I had the same problem for a long time. I found a solution by accident
really.
Right click on an HTML file and choose "Show Info", select "Open with
Application" from the
popup menu, click on the application icon and choose OmniWeb. Then
click on the
"Change All..." button on the bottom and there you go.
It might not look like it worked because the file icons don't change
right away, but it works. I
figured this out trying to do the same thing as you. I also used it to
change the default for jpegs
to Preview from QT picture viewer under Classic (there's nothing more
annoying than having
Classic start up just because you want to look at a jpeg image).
Anyway, hope that helps.

When I clicked on "Technotes" in the Apple Documentation, the Internet
Explorer came up, which I did not like.
So I changed the application responsibel for 'html', 'HTML', etc. to
OmniWeb.
No good.
I renamed the unwanted Explorer.
No good.
I copied it to some other location, deleted the thing in /Applications
No good.
I copied it to my Next-computer, deleting it on my Mac.
No good.
I disconnected my Next-computer from the Mac.
Finally no more explorer! But instead of using the already running
OmniWeb a new copy of it was started, which is also a bit silly.
I guess that this very persistent behaviour of the explorer has
something to do with aliases.
Is there some documentation, which explains aliases, the HFS+
filesystem and similar things?
