Looking to consolidate multiple stylesheets used by different departments...

My company is looking to create a master css file to include in all web apps now and in the future. We currently have several stylesheets in use throughout the company. We are looking to set the basic font, colors, etc... in the master for use by all web apps and also create more application specific stylesheets for the specific web apps that need more defined looks. The master may include the initial definition possibly for the <body>, <table>, <tr>, <td>, etc... My question is, has anyone experienced putting together a master css file after multiple stylesheets were already in use in the company? Or do you have any goods tips for what to define in the master? I am looking to find out how deep to define specific element tags (like <table>, <tr>, <td>) in the master and where to just include stylesheet attributes that can just be used as classes inside any html element? Any thoughts OR actual example code from a master css file OR a link to a good web article would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

You might consider using the Yahoo UI Library [developer.yahoo.com]'s Reset [developer.yahoo.com] and Fonts [developer.yahoo.com] stylesheets as a starting point. This will create a more normalized working environment.
