Use these 2 files:

backgr.xhtml: =========================================

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<head>
		<title>XML DTD and Schema Import</title>
		<link type="text/css" rel="StyleSheet" href="backgr.css" />
	</head>
<body>
	<p>ALL background must be colored, not white</p>
</body></html>

backgr.css: =========================================

body { background-color:yellow; }


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open backgr.xhtml (using backgr.css) with Mozilla. Observe background rendering
2. Rename backgr.xhtml to backgr.xml and do the same
3. Rename backgr.xhtml to backgr.html and do the same

Actual Results:  
Cases (1) and (2) (XHTML) render yellow background inside paragraph and white
around. I don't see any way to get rid of this yellow.
Case (3) (HTML) renders ALL background in yellow, that is correct

Expected Results:  
Rendering for all 3 steps must be identical: ALL the background must be in yellow
This is correct rendering.

In XHTML, put the background on the HTML element to get the effect you want.
