Too true. :-) Thanks. I think I have a better handle on it now thanks to you guys.

Me too. Since many elements don't have margins or padding, and those that do generally need one or t'other, I have never quite seen the point of that particular rule. I suggest you follow the suggestions you already got, just setting margins and padding where you need. One possible problem with this "universal reset" is that some form elements on some platforms can become non-functional or difficult to use. Personally, I don't worry too much about differences between browsers. It's only us crazy web developers that ever compare one browser's look with another's, after all.
