According to <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/sample.html> this is margin.

> Padding or margin or both? What is their line-height?

Default values apply for list-style-image and list-style-position
(respectively 'none' and 'outside').
Default value ('disc') applies for list-style-type for LIs in ULs and
is 'decimal' for LIs in OLs.
OLs and ULs also have a 40px left margin and, when not nested within
each others 1.33em top and bottom margins.
Line height has its default value ('normal')

Border.

That's what the CSS spec says, not necessarily what browsers do ;-)

Why not, but such a "zapper" should then be given in the spec(s).
