Personally I would not (recommend a class in preference to an ID in order to apply styling to the <BODY> element, that is). The normal reason for choosing a class in preference to an ID is to allow that class to be shared amongst multiple elements. Since there is (by definition) exactly one <BODY> element, and since it is highly unlikely that any other element should be styled identically to the <BODY> element (in all aspects, that is, not just in some aspects such as the choice of font-family), then I would have thought that an ID was to be preferred so that one can ensure that it is not accidentally applied to another element.
