Hi,
CSS resets are useful (I mean, really useful) on a specific range of
projects. For example, they're useful on web apps because they can
also be combined with other frameworks to get you started ASAP.
They're less useful when a significant portion of your site contents
are generated by users (such as in a CMS).
In this case, resets should be rewritten in a way that allows you to
leave some browser's default styles intact or at least not
overwritten. Consider this:
b, i {
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
}
If you forget to redefine your styles, a client of yours might call
you just to say that all of its MS Word contents inserted in the CMS
editor look like plain text without any kind of basic formatting (bold
and italic).
In these particular projects, CSS resets should be selective and not massive.
