"In Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher, setting html, body {position: relative;}
while in strict mode causes the browser to disallow scrolling. I don't know of
any real-world applications where this would be a problem, but it's still a
bug.

In Safari the entire body disappears if you set position: relative on the HTML
first, and then on the BODY. Safari crashes if you check BODY, then HTML, then
uncheck BODY.

Workarounds include using quirks mode, or playing it safe and avoiding setting
positioning to the html element.

Workaround is included
