I have not seen one ePub that puts the chapter header at the top of the page's margin. If you have, please tell me what eBook this is.
I have seen ebooks where the page-template.xpgt file was used to set a large top margin on the first page of a chapter so the chapter started half way down the first page. The two margins were additive. The example I quoted was for the generic file which gives you a 2em margin on all 4 sides of the page. Even if you set every margin in the stylesheet and/or body of the file to 0's, you will still get those margins.
