No, this won't work.  And, neither will it work with '~body' instead of 
'body' (per my previous post).

The problem is in method IAPastWork>>printHtmlTo:

You will notice that method hard codes a "<body>" tag, thus with no 
additional attributes possible.

A *very* ugly work-around is to override #printHtmlTo: in my subclass 
(IATest), and put in the background attribute desired in the override. 
 We need a better fix, though.
