if you consider <b> and <i> elements to be purely presentational, then I
guess you can leave browsers to their own devices. But I work on sites that
are multilingual and where user generated content could be in any language,
so if these elememts are purely presentational then they should never occur
in the templates or in user content.
If on the other hand you see these elements as symantic, then the resets
make sense, since the appearance of these elements should be styled on a
per language or a per writing script basis.
If the <b> and I elements are symantic, then <b> isn't necessarily bold,
and <i> isn't necessarily italic
