Right now we ignore ARIA properties that apply to the entire document, when they are set on the <body>. The spec will now say that <body> is always the place for ARIA properties in HTML. In content types that don't separate a head from a body, the ARIA properties go on the document element.
FWIW, the old rule was reasonable at a time when all ARIA properties required a role in order to be recognized. This is no longer true.
