arctica.reset.css -- resetting basic formatting tags? [#1388634]

I was curious if the intention of the arctica.reset.css file was to reset tags like the tag? It took me a bit to figure out why the tag wasn't being rendered as bold text until I realized that the tag was set to font-weight: normal.

Yes, a css reset it used to start of with a clean slate. Removing this styling forces you to think about it yourself. For example in some designs you might not want to give a bold styling, but instead a colored background.

If you don't like this idea, you can also turn the reset off (in core settings). But Arctica does a lot of resetting for a reason, it prevents that every Drupal site looks alike. You won't see any of my themes sporting those beady little icons on unordered lists :)

Yeah, I very much like the resets to remove a lot of those default stylings that come out of drupal. I was curious about some of those traditional styles that users typically use through a wysiwyg and noticed that they couldn't do bold, italics, etc. I think I was trying out the touchpro theme and noticed this.

I'll make sure to add some of those styles into a sub-theme. thanks!
