This is redundant and no fun since the > DTD doesn't allow the use of the class attribute in the html element. You can just replace "body" with "html" in your stylesheet and it will work everywhere. (The fact that "class" and "id" don't apply to <html> elements in HTML4 is IMHO an error with HTML4, and it will be corrected in the Web Apps 1.0 proposal [1]. Browsers support this anyway so if you want to use class and id attributes on <html> it will work.) FWIW, Opera do consider the fact that styling <body> affects the whole canvas in XHTML in Opera to be a bug (I work for Opera).
