You may be starting to get it. 0.5em is no good because the reader cannot set less if that's what's wanted. I want less then 0.5em. So that's going to be no good. I do want a margin, but not that big. See, you cannot decide what the user wants or not for things that the user may be able to change. Some programs will completely override the margins and some will just letr you add more to the margin starting with the values in the CSS. So don't set your L/R margin to 0.
