All default sizes?

16px is the default body size.

What is the default line-height? What are the defaults for all the html tags like H1-H6 and their line-heights?

I'd like to set my defaults so I can use em for everything and know all contexts for creating a full page.

Use a CSS reset. Each browser (user agent) has different default styles, and with a reset, these differences will be minimized if not eliminated.

The most popular is Eric Meyers CSS Reset, but this page seems outdated. http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

Normalize.css is the new hotness! http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/
