One other note.  To pass validation for the latest CSS DTD, you also may
want to add "color" for every element that defines "background-color".

For example

<style type="text/css">
  body {background-color: #000000; color: #FFFFFF; }
  div {text-align: center}
  h1 {color: #70A7C2; background-color: #000000}
  p {color: #70A7C2; background-color: #000000}
</style>

It doesn't throw an error, but I seem to remember it throwing a warning.
