When IE8 (post beta) was released, the differences between each browsers
default stylesheet became smaller [2].

All modern browser have padding-start for list, not padding-left since
this default (padding-start) is applied regardless of if the text flows
from left to right or right to left.

Using the Meyer reset or any other reset is the same a knocking down a
bridge and then building it back up and can add many extra styles to

To be fair, IE8 can not be referred to as 'exploder' since it now is the
best in implementing CSS2.1 correctly.
