It is not really the performance “hit” that I object to (modern browsers can
handle the universal selector perfectly fine, even in deeply nested trees –
still use in moderation…), it is the “inherit” value.
(and I never have had the need to use such a construct myself… my aversion to
so-called ‘reset’ css thingies is well-known on this list)
