What does "proper css reset" mean, please?

I support those who commended this design and agree with the comment that
making something happen when a visitor hovers over a link would be a Good
Thing. border-bottom 1px solid would be sufficient (following Wikipedia's
convention).

This is a very interesting suggestion and makes good sense to me. It is
almost as easy to implement as moving class='vspace' onto every element
that can be preceded by <div class='vspace></div> in the current
environment. The code would just have to insert class='lessvspace' when
the tag isn't preceded by a vspace.

However, I would really like to understand what is meant by "proper css
reset" and how it would distinguish between:
* a list item with no vspace above
* a following item with no vspace above

* another item with vspace above

Followed by a paragraph with vspace above.

Plus all the other spaced/unspaced combinations an author may use, so
pmwiki continues to honour the author's intentions.
