Thank you! However, the body background will actually be a patterned 
image, so faking margins with solid colors doesn't cut it. Setting those 
colors to to "transparent" doesn't work either, as the white of the 100% 
column shines through.

I realize I should have mentioned the background image in the original 
question - I obviously simplified too much for the sake of a simple 
example. Apologies for that.

So can anyone think of a way of achieving a 100% high column with 
vertical margins, where the body background image will be visible 
through those margins?

A top margin but having the bottom of the div flush against the bottom 
of the viewport/page would be nice, too, though a top _and_ a bottom 
margin is preferable.

Since I underspecified in the original mail, perhaps I should also 
mention that I intend to have the div be fixed width and centered. I 
don't think the contents of the div should matter, at least.
