There's nothing special about a calibre generated stylesheet. It's entirely dependant on whether or not those elements have been defined in the stylesheet or left undefined (as default).

I haven't tested it yet, but it's also possible that these style choices also work like embeded fonts, in which case, the Kobo overwrites the properties of the <body>. When Calibre converts an epub, the body properties get defined into a class, and that prevents Kobo from overwriting it.

The non-technical takeaway, however, is that styling option in Kobo will not work as expected with every book, so your milleage will vary.
