For those who don't care if their epubs are turned into glorified TXT files, this particular patch may be seen as a good thing. For everyone else, it's far too much of a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
With Calibre you can insert a @page rule in every HTML with margins and stuff like that, as it is not in the .css it can't be ignored.
And you can use an xpgt file in the misc directory of the book with the styles in it, that will also be ignored by the patch.
Only.. what takes more time, to adjust an ebook taking out the wrong lines in the .css file and don't use the patch, or use the patch but build an alternative way in the book so margins are not ignored.
For myself, I won't use that part of the patch, because I have more readers, so I convert all books with calibre, insert Amasis font in it, with my margins, so it works in every reader.
