[CSS21] Status of defult (intrinsic) style sheet in UA

It seems like most of UAs have their own
intrinsic style sheets for defining 
default rendering of HTML elements like the one
provided here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/sample.html

Q: How this style is being applied?

For example in the document above we have:

ol ul, ul ol,
ul ul, ol ol    { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0 }

But if we define in the document something like: 
ol { margin-top: 1pt; margin-bottom: 1pt }

then it will override all instances of ol without
respect of specificity of styles in default table.

I guess that we need to put couple of words in comment 
section of http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/sample.html
about status of this (and similar) intrinsinc tables of styles.
