I believe you are mixing up "set on" and "apply to".
Properties can be *set* on any element:
body, p, svg, g, circle { border: thick solid green }
Whether that property *applies to* a given element is a different matter. For example, the properties which affect the CSS box model (like border, background, etc) don't apply to elements which are not rendered using a box model.
