Well, it was approximately correct (or at least sufficiently
descriptive) in the first place. The attributes are within the body
start-tag, which could reasonably be described as the <body> tag (with
the body end-tag reasonably described as the </body> tag).
If a completely unambiguous phrasing is required, "within the body
start-tag" or "of the body element" are most advisible - merely changing
'tag' to 'element' still leaves it ambiguous, as the attributes of its
child elements are also 'within' that element.

This is missing units and repeats margin-top. A corrected version:
body { margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; }
