It is just a pet peeve of mine but I dislike people putting units associated with zero values. Zero is zero whichever unit you apply, or don't apply -- the latter being my preference.
Maybe not 95% but it makes as a good title! It'll solve a lot of problems out there as the majority of the issues I see with cross-compatibility issues - the coder has not reset the paddings and margins.

Code:
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;

I do see what you mean with the above example. 0px is the same as 0em no matter what the units are. I just use it because it's good-practice to apply the unit type. For measurements I use PX and for font sizes I use EM - along with the xx-small, x-small, medium, large, inherit, etc. text values.
