I've found that using the wildcard can sometimes cause paragraphs to butt right up against each other, because you've effectively given it a margin-bottom of 0.
I can't remember what browser it was in, but it's happened to me a couple of times leading to me not bothering to use it anymore, and just declaring padding and margin 0 when I actually need it.

Well, yes, because the CSS attributes you're defining in the wildcard apply to all of the HTML elements, so removing the padding/margins from paragraphs would be intended.
I generally apply some style to my paragraphs anyway. I find it's easier to start from the beginning than break things down as you go. Plus you know that any conflict with divs or anything would be due to your programming, not because of defaults.
