Usualy the root cause is from the body... background or color set but not the other. Too many designers rely on the defaults that might not always be present.
Sure, but this make sense only in the topmost context; when certain element are aligned as they should be deeper in the structure/page there's no need to try to persuade authors they should state it for this explicitly as well as it might not be desirable.
But maybe some of those who see validator-warnings as a /problem/ think it is necessary to "kill" all warnings ? :-)
Well, the thing is they prepare bloated code with unexpected behavior sometimes.
Would be nice if those tools worked...
Indeed. However I described in my spot <http://www.janbrasna.com/clanky/ukecany-css-validator/> (Czech only, sorry... Someone should make me to write in English) that it's definitely not easy for the validator to pick up the problematic points as it doesn't know the cascade, how the final rendering is aligned and how it was actually intended.
