Me too. Since many elements don't have margins or padding, and those
that do generally need one or t'other, I have never quite seen the point
of that particular rule.
I suggest you follow the suggestions you already got, just setting
margins and padding where you need.
One possible problem with this "universal reset" is that some form
elements on some platforms can become non-functional or difficult
to use.
Personally, I don't worry too much about differences between browsers.
It's only us crazy web developers that ever compare one browser's
look with another's, after all.
Cordially,
David
