Update: Sass CSS Reset has been revised.

An associate turned me on to Hampton Catlin’s Haml and Sass — terse, structured representation of xhtml markup and css rules. Not bad work for a guy who used to work with a Canadian vampire! If you’re working with Rails, I highly recommend it. I am a markup snob who is sensitive to white space, and after my initial rash-like reaction to Haml, the itching went away and I grew to like it.

For those that have embraced Eric Meyer’s css reset work, here’s a version of css reset in Sass.
