How to select * but exclude <body>? Or set the default <body> style?

Question

Browsers usually set different default styles for elements. Users can also override default values using custom stylesheets .

I often override these default styles using my own styles, for example:

* {padding:0; margin:0; }

However, I want to respect the default stylesheet for certain element attributes, for example. <body>default filling and margin. I tried:

*    { padding:0;       margin:0;       }
body { padding:default; margin:default; }

But that will not work. Also does not exist initial.

Is there a way to solve this problem by selecting all items but excluding <body>?
