Well I wind up pretty confused trying to keep
track of what I have done with margins, so I
try to stay with a personal method.

Basically I set all the margins and padding
to zero then on the top element (H1 usually
for me) I set the top margin that looks about
right for the document as a whole. I then use
bottom margins for the space I want below the
various items--no margin overlap problems and,
in most of the things I write, the amount that
looks right to me is usually a matter of the
spacing down from the item above.

I think this might work well for you to get
no space below the H3s without affecting the
paragraph-to-paragraph spacing.

My final bit is not to sweat the small stuff
on this point. If you set the body font size
to 100.1%, the subordinate font sizes in em
values (1em as much as possible), line height
to about 1.4 (no units, it's a proportional),
and set margins in em values, you should get
a good looking page that will be relatively
similar on various browsers and user setups.

IMO, it's best to let the user have a page
that's readable at his/her chosen settings
for screen size and eyesight.
