Somebody recently posted a sample from the first line of their 
stylesheet which, as I remember,  essentially zeroed out the padding and 
margin values for several tags including body, p and a few more. That 
struck me as a sound approach as it allows you to only have a +/- value 
where you explicitly add it.
Anybody else remember that?
