problems with (decode-coding-region 'utf-8: ' gives '

Look at the following example:
Ich war heute in Paris
--->
J'étais aujourd'hui à Paris
instead of
J'étais aujourd'hui à Paris
The relevant code line is
(decode-coding-region (point-min) (point-max) 'utf-8)
That has nothing to do with it.
Those are HTML character entities,
they are composed of perfectly valid ASCII characters,
Google put them there, not XEmacs, and
the utf-8 coding system must leave them alone.
The problem is that babel.el isn't doing anything about translating
them to characters. Try adding
(require 'w3-parse)
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (progn
(skip-chars-forward "^&")
(not (eobp)))
(w3-expand-entity-at-point-maybe))
somewhere appropriate in babel.el. Right after the
decode-coding-region form might be a good guess.
You'll need the w3 package installed.
