Could you please point to one style sheet that would break with this change? I have tried to find one, but failed, as indicated in my initial email. (The ones I found were unintended by the authors; they actually wanted to fill the canvas by styling the body element, they just didn't understand that it doesn't work in XHTML. Such style sheets would in fact be "fixed" with this change, rather than broken.) Regards, -- Simon Pieters
