The purpose for a normalizing stylesheet is to minimize rendering differences between browser vendors and versions. It would generally target only the styles used by your documents that need normalizing for consistent appearance.

The name normalize.css is the accepted convention for a file that performs this function.

Instead of maintaining a custom one of your own, your needs might possibly be met by a publicly available one intended for general purpose use. One source of these is Google, theirs can be included with this line:

<link rel="stylesheet" src="//normalize-css.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/normalize.css" />
