Thanks Evgeny. The great thing about adding classes to the body is that you can target common elements *on a specific page*. I.e. you can say "I want the Ask A Question button to be big and red on the front page, but not on the other pages". At the moment, you would have to touch the HTML for that.

Feature request: Add classes to body in default skin
If the <body> tag of each page had a class that corresponds with its URI:
<body class="questions">
<body class="tags">
<body class="people">
<body class="badges">
<body class="ask">
it would become very easy to apply specific CSS styles to specific pages:
body.tags div.AList { ..... } /* Rule applies to tags page only */

Done a while ago, a page name is added to the class at most pages (but not all yet - only those that required that for the styling).
For example, main page has class "main-page", also multiple classes are used everywhere, at the expense of not supporting IE6, which is almost extinct by now.
Also, added a document on skin customization: http://askbot.org/doc/customizing-skin-in-askbot.html
