I'd have been ok with 'reset' (since it effectively "resets" the state
to what it was at the beginning of your cascade origin), but this is a
good point.

However, I also don't want to use a term that is technically *incorrect*
(which makes it *more* difficult for people to understand how things
actually work!) so ua-default or browser-default or anything like that
is IMHO not acceptable.
