Yes, there is a browser default margin applied to the HTML form element. You
can see this on the W3C sample style sheet, a guide for devices, here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/sample.html
This style sheet is an example of what a default browser should display. In
amongst the CSS you can see:
FORM { display: block }
FORM { margin: 1.33em 0 }
This is a standard block level margin - the same as is generally applied to
paragraphs, heading, lists etc.
