It's easy to say that the default font size should be 1em and no default text alignment be specified but hoping that this will become common practice? My personal belief is that is extremely unlikely to happen. The big publishers don't use their inhouse stylesheets consistently and for independently published ebooks, any consistency is purely coincidental.

OTOH, a bit of practice with an epub editor and you can develop a workflow that allows you to fix most epubs with a minimal amount of time spent.
