* { font-size: 1em; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
ul, ol { list-style: none; }
a img, :link img, :visited img { border: none; }
should do the trick, too.
Personally, I always used to include a "* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }" rule
to my style sheets which resets all the mentioned inconsistent margins and
paddings among user-agents, and not only does it work perfectly (regarding
the UAs I want to support -- and it's not NS 4 anymore), it of course
complies with a simplification of Tantek's proposed rule.
Next, to unify font-sizes, "* { font-size: 1em; }" is of course sufficient
to reset font sizes for all elements, too, also reducing the presented style
sheet's "complexity".
Also, link differentiability (by underline) is (in this case) far more
important than "minor" readability issues caused by "obscured shapes of the
lower halves of words". Additionally, the visualization here is always the
same, so there is no (or nearly no) inconsistency.
Only some thoughts.
Regards,
Jens.
