Obviously I wasn't trying to address your specific situation since I
don't know what it is. The above would work equally well with a class
attribute.

See above. If you just want to provide a way of allowing your users to
set a background colour or something, I'd use the kickstarter to add a
select box containing a list of class names to the page record and use
page.bodyTagCObject to retrieve that class name. The advantage of
using a class name instead of an actual colour is that it's
extensible--you can always add more layout properties to the page
based on the class than just the colour if the need arises.

But also, see my other post in this thread (useful if you're using
templavoila templates). I've used the code there to allow users to
vary the number of columns in the page layout. They choose an option
in the page record, and the id attribute of the body element for that
page changes. This allows multiple layouts with only one HTML template
to maintain (the CSS is slightly more complex of course, but on the
whole it's a net gain in simplicity). I think I set the TS up so that
subpages to inherit a default layout, but it should also be possible,
I think, to set it up so that subpages inherited the layout of the
parent page.
