Setting padding and/or margins on HTML/BODY elements don't have any effect (with the exception of padding on BODY elements). For a test case, See issue #2 in the attached UR

With your latest changes this can probably be closed

It still doesn't work on the Sep 20 build.

Some of this (at least margins on BODY) was working for a while, but now it doesn't work again, so I'm commenting here. The idea of margin and border (and maybe padding) on HTML is questionable, but BODY margins and borders should definitely be supported, and the margins (including the expanded bottom margin of short pages) should be given the background-color of HTML, but if that is not defined, then the background-color of BODY.

It seems like the CSS WD will reach consensus on: - margin/border/padding are optional on the HTML element - margin/border/padding are required on tht BODY element The fact that margins on BODY are not honored is currently the #1 reason why I can't showcase nglayout more than I do.

I just added code to support body margins (padding/border were already there). Note that if the body ends up scrolling, the display won't yet look as it should because it's still the case that the HTML object is the root frame instead of the immediate child of the root frame (this is where we will be placing the overflow: auto scrolling property). Bug #677 covers that problem so I'm closing this one.
