There is no need for a default stylesheet identical for all browsers, but default stylesheets should have as few declarations as possible to get the desired effect. This implies as many default declarations in HTML as possible, so that authors can count on inheritance in situations where users have not created custom sheets. > We'll know we're done when we can't tell whether it's being appled or not The best stylesheet will be the one that does it with the fewest declarations.
