I agree with Anne; this is a CSS issue.

I completely disagree! :) It feels very wrong to fix a CSS issue with
markup. For what other uses than styling does <reset> make sense? What
semantic meaning does it give the content inside it?
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.
