Normalize.css is a well known reset stylesheet that is used to align some base styles across browsers to set as a common ground for development.

Some developers find it redundant, or may prefer to use their own reset stylesheets. Many ready-made reset scripts are available, among them are the famous Eric Mayer's reset.css (used by BluePrint), and YUI2's stylesheet.
