Those web pages are broken. They assume that the default background
colour the browser chooses is white. This assumption does not hold.
If they want a white background they have to say so.
This is an interesting development, since early web browsers always used
to render the default background as a grey colour - I remember seeing
this in Mosaic, the NeXTstep browser (can't remember its name) and early
Netscape.
