Technically, yes, since aria-busy is one of the globals.  It can be used 
on any element.

But, <html> is not exposed in the accessibility tree [1]. Thus, any 
aria-busy associated with it would be lost.

If it's relevant:  The root of the accessibility tree for HTML is based 
on the <body> or a <frameset> [2].
