Not sure I get all this but, anyway...
Setting a style for that particular division in the head of the document
will override the style sheet.
Styles for individual pages, including specific selectors within those
pages, can be done using an id or class on the body as explained here
<http://www.maxdesign.com.au/presentation/page-id/>
Aside: Use of a reset such as yours and other such gimmicks that are out
and about on the Web is a matter of opinion. My opinion is that it is a
far better to code from knowledge and understanding rather than reset.
