I don't know if I follow you... There is a default spacing for all caps defined, only A and L have something "special", because of their shape.

I think the
p {
text-indent: 1em;
margin: 0;
}

won't work for me. I will have to define a special p class for the first paragraph as I use points to define my indent, normally (15pt) (works better for mobi making). Or could I use the points for defining the indent? Or do I have to completely rewrite my code for those drop caps, thus having to make 2 source files?
That is the definition for normal paragraphs, you can have whatever you want there ("text-indent: 15pt"), yes, you can use "pt" or "px" as units, I just prefer using relative units when possible, but it's true that maybe the indent should be defined in relation to the page width something like 3%, maybe? The special class for the first paragraph is already there: p.initial.
