Misbehaving OmniWeb or bad HTML code?

Having an interesting problem...

One of the pages I have built on our internal Web Server has these 2 lines:

<body background="/images/backgrounds/paper/tan_paper.gif">
<body text="#000000" link="#0000FF" vlink="#FF0000" alink="#FF0000">

the problem is, in OmniWeb 2.0b2 the background seems to work fine but the text attributes do not take affect.

when I switch the order of the lines to:

<body text="#000000" link="#0000FF" vlink="#FF0000" alink="#FF0000">
<body background="/images/backgrounds/paper/tan_paper.gif">

the text attributes work but the background does not show up.

Is this an OmniWeb problem or is it bad HTML style?
thanks!
