To expand on Georg's reply re: fine-tuning those reset styles to your
own requirements, I'd like to suggest that Eric Meyer never intended
his reset styles to be used thoughtlessly and "as is." In his related
article[1] he states:

  "My hope is that people will use them as a launch pad for their own
   resets and for deeper thinking about styling and browsers."

Cordially,
