Basis has been built to make theme development for WordPress easier. If you are an experienced theme developer or a total beginner, Basis provides a highly customizable starting point for your theme development.
Basis comes with a pre-defined set of templates. The otherwise empty stylesheet provides a list of IDs und class-names which have already been used in the templates. The theme is widget-ready and introduces a number of custom functions in functions.php. Here are some details:

This theme provides multiple options to reset the CSS styles to a common standard for all browsers. Choose one option and use the linked ressources to retrieve deeper information on the matter.
To standardize the interpretation of CSS attributes within browsers from Internet Explorer 5 up to Firefox 3, the WordPress Basis Theme comes with an included CSS Framework Tripoli. The idea has been realized by David Hellsing.
The CSS reset by Eric Meyer resets all internal browser styles and requires a complete re-definition of all styles.
"The reset styles given here are intentionally very generic. There isn't any default color or background set for the body element, for example. I don't particularly recommend that you just use this in its unaltered state in your own projects. It should be tweaked, edited, extended, and otherwise tuned to match your specific reset baseline. Fill in your preferred colors for the page, links, and so on."
The foundational YUI Reset CSS file removes and neutralizes the inconsistent default styling of HTML elements, creating a level playing field across A-grade browsers and providing a sound foundation upon which you can explicitly declare your intentions.
Many CSS resets just go too far. Eliot´s solution only regards a selection of elements that are used more often.
