W3C Core Styles [1]. They were a pretty good illustration of the separation of presentation from the underlying markup.

Yeah, font-size: 14px is a bad idea. It should really, really be put back to 16px (just leave the definition out!).

http://www.csszengarden.com/ is a neat example of that too: some wildly different visual designs with the same markup.

Oh, that one does bring back memories! A proto-CSS Zen Garden of sorts, absolutely fascinating at the time.
We used to spend hours applying those 8 stylesheets to our pages and deciding which one we preferred... Really edgy types used two, or perhaps even three, different styles on their handwoven Web Pages.

But it breaks the font sizing. Also it would be cool if H1 would be smaller inside an ARTICLE than H1 outside of an article like the default setting in Safari etc.
Would be good if useful defaults wouldn't be destroyed by too general css.
