A much better solution is a 'reset' property or property value in CSS that can reset different inherited and cascaded property values. I can picture something like this:

#box {
  color : red;
  text-align: center;
}

#box div {
  reset : color; /* resets the color to the browser's default value */
}

#box span {
  reset : *; /* resets all cascading and inherited properties */
}

I think this is actually something lacking in CSS and something that indeed should be proposed to the CSS WG.

Similar things has been discussed at www-style at least a couple if times, see e.g. the thread starting here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2005Aug/0033.html

Your 'reset' property certainly looks interesting in my opinion.
