Generally speaking, margins and padding are handled pretty well.

That can cause issues - especially with form controls. If you want to
use a reset, then I suggest one that is a little less global. I tend
towards http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/
these days.

Not least among the validity errors is the malformed Doctype - which
triggers Quirks mode. This causes lots of inconsistencies between
browsers, including an issue in Internet Explorer where the browser
places the padding inside the content width of an element.
