I have trouble seeing your point when you use an example where while setting the top margin to 3pt (a very bad idea using absolute measurements) is close to 0.25em and close enough to 0 for some people while right and bottom are set to 0 but the left margin is set to 2em which is not close to 0.
I have seen several ebooks from Tor where there is a stylesheet for every text file but they are all virtually identical and contain little more than an @page setting the right and left margins to 5px. The remainder of the styling was done with inline styles. In one of those abominations, removing the inline styles, gave me 82 indented paragraphs styles with the indent expressed in pts, px and em, font sizes in multiple measurements and top/bottom margins and paddings again of various sizes and units. The conversion does not do approximations and a style with the bottom margin set to 4 px is not the same as a style with the bottom margin set to 3pt.
