User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041002 Firefox/0.10.1

When served as application/xhtml+xml, the background-color css property of the
body element is only applied to blocks with actual text in them.
Additionally, a white space is shown on top of the page, although body has
margin:0 and padding:0.
The very same page, served as text/html renders as expected, the entire page in
the background-color given for body.
Here is page showing the problem:
http://manuelseeger.de/dump/firefox/standard/template2.xml
And exactly the same page, but with text/html:
http://manuelseeger.de/dump/firefox/quirks/template2.xml

I'm not that much into XHTML, but I don't think this can be intentional.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
This the correct rendering.  For XHTML, <html> is the root element.  Put your
background color styles there.
