There is an interesting article
(http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2004/09/15/emreallyem-undoing-htmlcss
/) about this from Eric Myer which discusses the removal of default
styles using Tantek Celiks undohtml.css
(http://tantek.com/log/2004/undohtml.css) file. 

It made me realise just how much we take for granted from default
browser styles.
