Title: Html background color prevents body background color/images from displaying full window #bug

Issue described here: https://github.com/necolas/normalize.css/issues/188

Issue example at: http://jonathangrover.com/normalize-test/
Fixed issue at: http://jonathangrover.com/normalize-fix/

This issue occurred on mac OSX 10.6.8 and 10.7.5 in Safari, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome

By leaving out the background color the body element is able to receive repeating background images and textures and colors that will seamlessly expand to the edges of the screen. Hopefully this will outweigh any other bug that the html { background: #fff; } semmed to fix. You can contact me at hello@jonathangrover.com or @jongrover

Thanks for a great css reset/style guide.
