That same method can be used with IDs on the body tag as well. In fact, the argument for using IDs is that they would have a greater specificity. Class might be used over ID (on the body tag) where an ID is already specified for that tag (to trigger other properties that maybe are shared by more than one page layout). Since you can only have on ID on the element, a class might be used to trigger the menu properties.
