That will force you to use completely different CSS layout model. Yes today is common practice the use of box-sizing: border-box and it should be the first line of code when you set your layout. I don't what to force anyone to use box-sizing: border-box.

I'm not clear on what you're saying. It sounds like you're saying today it's absolutely something you should use but you don't want to force it?

"It sounds like you're saying today it's absolutely something you should use but you don't want to force it?"

Yes, correct.

Let me explain.. that is the most important decision you make when you plan your CSS layout. But is your decision to make. You can absolutely add this in the reset. Feel free to add stuff in the reset.

I suppose the argument against it is that you're not normalizing something across browsers... you're changing it? Right?

It sort of normalizes the box model in every browser to be like IE6.
