You can zero out everything with:
* {margin: 0; padding: 0}
Then if you go look at C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\res\html.css you can
see what the defaults for Firefox are.
What I'm doing right now is creating an external stylesheet called
"crossBrowserSizes.css" where I dump those defaults, modified as desired.
Then I @import it into my site's stylesheet so I have a baseline to start
from.
What it doesn't fix is IE hasLayout bugs with the margin collapsing rules.
But I don't really know of anything that globally fixes that.
