Right (aside from the body being lime now). The spec seems pretty clear, when one follows the logic of it, that the BPA of the root element (i.e. the HTML element) is the entire canvas, and is not, therefore, based on the 'background-clip' property (which does not have "canvas" as one of its values). My recent nightly download fails the test. It is clipping the background to the content box of the root/viewport. It also fails to meet the definition of 'border-style: dotted', by the way, which says there should be a series of _round_ dots.
