I used "methods containing string" on body, and found
WAHtmlRoot >> #writeHeadOn:
which appears to pick up attributes for the body tag from ivar bodyAttrs,
which can be accessed in your app's #updateRoot: by sending #bodyAttributes
to the passed-in root.  This is an instance of WAHtmlAttributes,
so you should be able to call #addClass: on it.

In other words, to your top level component, add instance-side:

updateRoot: root
  super updateRoot: root.
  root bodyAttributes addClass: 'yourBodyClass'.

Untested.
