What's the logic behind choosing a class attribute here? Is it mostly for 
semantic reasons? Semantically I can see the value of a class, provided that 
you may have several other pages of the same class and you will treat them 
similarly. This could be paginated pages or all pages under a certain division 
of the site in question. I've used this in navigation for instance.

On the other hand each page is unique and if you want something specific for 
that unique page you could use an id both on the body element or the html 
element. 

I suppose your intentions would be made more clear in the css code if you 
peruse the id and class attributes this way.

Then again, perhaps you had other reasons for this choice?
