It's yes, I don't think there's a better way. Again, see also HTML 5.

With the behavior Firefox has for this you can't determine the position of
the <div> relative to the page anymore using offset*. I don't see how that
is better. With the behavior IE has for this you need to introduce
differences between quirks and standards mode. I don't see how that's
better either. Special casing the HTML body element seems the most
reasonable solution, as I've explained to you several times before so
please don't claim I'm ignoring you all the time when you complain about
the same thing every time...
