#61731: Body element specificity still bumped

 After upgrading to 6.6.1 today, I noticed that the body element is still
 being wrapped as :root :where(body) for output. Is the body element not
 considered a top-level element-only selector?

 For my instance, I have left/right padding in my theme.json to output in
 the editor, but am overriding that on my frontend with just the body
 selector to remove the padding. However, 6.6's specificity supersedes
 that, and so now I need to increase specificity to compensate.

 If there's a reason the body element was left out of the change, I
 understand, but I wanted to mention it in case it was missed in the
 update.
