And is safe to use it. Of course, after that, if you want an item to have margins, you will have to indicate it in your style sheet.

Thanks Rubén for your input!

I guess my question is also -- do I want to use it? What's your opinion? It was recommended on a blog guide and it does seem like a good idea if it does indeed create positive results rather than compromise compatibility.

But my second question is then: If KindleGen, for example, converts CSS styling (such as the reset) to mobi-equivalents (where they exist), how will such a "style reset" convert over to .mobi?

Also, if I as you say might want to have an item with margins, can I override the style reset later in the CSS? I.e. does a following, specified style property override the universal selector?

Thanks a lot for your help!
