Except, of course, that, in the case of HTML documents, the body element 
is special-cased -- any background specified upon it is positioned 
relative to the *root* element's padding edge (and no background is ever 
drawn for the body element). NetSurf currently doesn't do this, hence the 
incorrect behaviour you're seeing.
