A general problem with such a "general reset" approach is that "it
resets the padding and margin for all elements", and if one adds
vertical margins on elements simply because such margins are needed in a
design, then the "collapsing margins" problem may pop up again -
depending on which elements margins are declared on.
Thus, the problem isn't solved, it's just avoided for a particular case.
Better to understand and be able to control the problems involved with
use of certain properties/values first, so one can make proper use of
all properties/values in the specs - as/when needed.
