Hi

I tend to use the same body for each style-sheet of my EPUB2 books. The idea is to include in the body informations that can later be easily modified, if need be, by modern ebook-readers in order to provide more freedom to the reader.

This is the one and I would be happy to discuss every point.

@page {
  margin-top: 0.4cm;
  margin-bottom: 0.2cm;
}

body {
  margin: 0 0.5cm;
  font-family: "Linux Libertine O";
  line-height: 1.25;
}

Comments

1. - Of course, we can use relative units (em or %). Are there any drawbacks?
2. - font-family is named only once
3. - line-height is named only once
4. - lateral margins are set-up only once
5. - I use padding for vertical margins because of some ADE quirks. (replaced with @page following advices)
6. - I use a transparent background-color ... for no particular reason. (suppressed following advices)
7. - font-size is supposed to be 100%, so it's not named here.
8. - Exceptions can still apply for everything: then, new attributes and values have to be added to the relevant styles.

Any idea about improving this?
