And as I understand it the W3C spec allows for either, so it's within
the standard to use padding, or margins, whichever the browser
designer prefers.
If I'm going to be styling a lot of lists I usually just pick put a rule like:
ul, ol, dl
{ padding: 0; margin: 0 0 0 40px;}
.. at the start of my style sheet.
As far as I know all the browsers will follow this instruction so I
then have consistency across browser.
For those who follow the practice of zeroing out all margins with
* {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
All you need is something like:
ul, ol, dl
{ margin-left: 40px;}
Or you could choose to indent with padding, of course.
Of course if I'm choosing to not style my lists I can just let the
browser do what it wants.
