Issue: In Mozilla 1.6, on the .php (xml+xhtml) page the body element

Stumped.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html#q2>:
The background of the box generated by the root element covers the
entire canvas.
For HTML documents, however, we recommend that authors specify the
background for the BODY element rather than the HTML element. User
agents should observe the following precedence rules to fill in the
background: if the value of the 'background' property for the HTML
element is different from 'transparent' then use it, else use the
value of the 'background' property for the BODY element. If the
resulting value is 'transparent', the rendering is undefined.
