I believe this is correct since CSS2 section 10.5 says [1]:
<percentage>
... If the height of the containing block is not specified
explicitly (i.e., it depends on content height), the value is
interpreted like 'auto'.
Since the height of the body element (and the html element, if body's
height is specified as a percentage) is not specified explicitly, the
percentage height you give should be interpreted like 'auto'.
