You can use the CSS3 negation pseudo-class to that effect...
...but it won't work in any version of IE - yet.
Wouldn't be wise to use it anyway, since the defaults you want to keep
varies a bit (too much IMO) across browser-land. Better declare what you
want, where you want it.

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
[css-d] New Member: wild card question
Hi All
I'm new here, although I did chime in on a couple of questions. My
name is Dave and look forward to honing my css skills.
I often use a * {margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; } as a starting
point and for the most part saves me lots of extra css code,
headaches, and time for layout with great cross browser/platform
support. However sometimes when entering content in what is basically
a template it would be nice to restore the defaults for just one div,
is there anyway to stop this from affecting a particular div? For
example it kinda does a number on lists when you weren't planning on
using them for menus and now you have to reinvent the list format with
css. I would prefer to address this on a div in html that may vary in
"id" although would usually be a mainContent div. So I don't want to
make this change in the CSS file, but only on the page in question.
Obviously I can't do it for the whole page since that would break the
templates layout. I work mainly in text editors now, so I'm not
limited by WYSIWYG.
An example page is at

Um...about the content, they are just a client..lol...and as long as
the money is green..well you know :)
TIA
Dave
