HTML elements with "built-in" margins

While working on my first project that completely uses css for layout rather than tables like I'm most used to and comfortable with I ran into a strange issue. Apparently there are some elements that have margins built in. In other words, if you set the "margin-top: 0px" then the element is rendered differently than if you don't. I didn't actually notice the problem until I was test开发者_开发问答ing the site in IE7 which apparently doesn't respect this functionality.

So far I have noticed that the h* elements and the ul element have this. Does anyone know where I can find the other elements online that have this? I tried searching around W3C with very little luck. I'm sure it is out there somewhere since all the modern browsers implement this correctly. I just don't know where to find that information.

There may be small differences between browsers, but this, from the CSS 2.1 spec must be pretty close.

I use a combination of a reset.css (http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/) and ClearFix(http://www.webtoolkit.info/css-clearfix.html) for misbehaving divs that contain floating elements.
