Chris,
there
is no "standard" when it comes to out-of-the-box
presentation
of
HTML elements. It's all good practice, but not enforced by any
rules,
and
browser manufacturers can choose what they think is the best
way
to
present something. Never trust in things like "but most other
browsers
do it
this way, so it must be the standard".
If you
need a certain styling, consistently, across browsers, it's
always
best
to be very explicit in your CSS. Another similar example would
be
the
dotted underline on acronyms...there is no standard, most
browsers
show
it, but it's best to explicitly define it in your CSS.
Just
my GBP 0.02,
Patrick
