AFAIK, no. The only influence body will have on its contents (as far
as whitespace goes) is that padding will, in a way, look similar to
margins on its contents. i.e.,

<body>
<div>foo</div>
</body>

body {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 5px;
}

div {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

should look the same as:

body {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

div {
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 0;
}
