Its a common validation check (if an annoying one) for CSS validators
to report a warning if you set a foreground color without setting a
background color. In general, its best to set both at some point. It
eliminates ambiguity.
A user who specifies there own style sheet (are they any?) would have
control over this sort of thing regardless of whether or not you set a
background color on the body or not.

Actually, I am tempted to agree with Saša on this one - if *you* set
a foreground color, *you* should set a background color. A default
background should not apply if you override the foreground.
I think Saša / Zeldman are talking about using a "default background"
from the browser - on the other hand, if the user sets his browser to
overwrite the colors specified by the page, then both the background
and foreground colors are affected. Also (as John said), the user
has clearly chosen to see it differently.
Cheers,
Mohit.
