Topmost element (was: Header, Footer, and Sidebars)

If you were to change "BODY" to "HTML" I would agree with you. There should
be a top-most element for which relative values do not apply. I suggest that
HTML refer to the canvas/UA window. In addition to holding the "default
stylesheet" base font size, it would also be assumed to have a height and
width equal to the UA window dimensions, with an overflow property value of
'auto'. It would be an absolutely-positioned element, and therefore have no
margins.
