Using html and body instead of container divs

[KeithPickering]

I’m working on a WordPress theme, and when it comes to browser compatibility, I’m only interested in IE9 and up (maybe with some polyfills for IE8)

This is what I’m using right now, and it seems to work in all the browsers I’ve tested it in:

html {
background: #eee;
min-width: 320px;
padding: 0 20px;
}

body {
position: relative;
font-size: 100%;
font-family: ‘Noto Sans’, sans-serif;
line-height: 1.4;
color: #444;
border-left: 1px solid #ddd;
border-right: 1px solid #ddd;
background: #fff;
}

Are there any drawbacks to this that I’m not seeing?

Sounds perfectly legit.
