Sounds logical. However, I am using IDs on the body to give,

that element.
Afraid not, the HTML element can only have lang and dir attributes:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-HTML>
This only applies to HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1.
XHTML 1.0 allows for the id attribute on HTML.
You're right, although this was introduced in the 2002 revision of
XHTML 1.0, and breaks the principle that XHTML 1.0 is a reformulation
of HTML 4.01. Thanks for pointing it out; I'll have to remember to
check both DTDs in future :-)
Regards,
Nick.
