Yes it will, so you'll have to re-declare any margins or padding on
any element that would normally have them by default, such as headings
and paragraphs. Likewise, any other style rule without a margin or
padding declared will default to zero. The "*" selector is generic, so
any other selector will always be more specific, thus trumping the
universal zero. For example:
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; } /* Universal Zero */
p { margin: 1em 10px; } /* 1em on top and bottom, 10px on left and right */
h1 { margin-bottom: 1.5em; } /* 1.5em on bottom, all other sides
default to zero */
#container { margin: 12px auto 0 auto; } /* 12px on top, auto on the
right, zero on bottom, and auto on the left (centered) */
