While I agree that much of CSS is sub-optimal and overly complex, the 
margin, and border properties are quite reasonable.
1) Margin properties allow you to set the width of the margin around the 
element box.
2) Padding properties allow you to set the width of the padding wihin 
the element box.
That's virtually all you need to know except that you can specify all 
sides or only one side.

Borders are somewhat more complex, but even they are relatively simple 
compared with much of css. Maybe just implement the width and color 
features initially and add style later on.
