W3C's own browser, Amaya 9.0, is also doing it the Opera way. It is actually very clear. The draft makes an exception for HTML documents so that it is more backwards compatible with the |<body background="...">| construct that existed in the 4.x era.

Also, Mozilla does not want you to style both elements in XML context. Just the HTML element is enough. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
