Depends.
Is your doctype triggering standards or quirks mode? Should there be
any collapsing margins?

No.
ul { margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 6px}
No.
Both work just fine in technical sence. But different browsers and
computers have different defaults.
For example if I have 5mm high letters on high PPI screen, there seems to
be no space between paragraphs. On low PPI screen, there is noticeable
space.
Note that if you style lists, there is quite different defaults for
different list elements in different browsers.

The doctype: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
I want the margins to be 6px before and after each <p> or <ul>. In IE6 this
style results (to my eyes) in a vertical gap of 12px between any adjacent
<p> or <ul>.

Not that, but thing starting <!DOCTYPE as a first thing in your file. If
there is no such thing, you are in quirks mode, which is not good.

That's wrong behaviour, margins should collapse.

That's not a doctype.

If p and ul and the only elements you use in yout HTML then the above
styles will give 6px gaps between each adjacent element in conforming
browsers (ignoring cases where users over ride your styles with their
own preferences).
In IE6 this
style results (to my eyes) in a vertical gap of 12px between any adjacent
<p> or <ul>.
IE is wrong as IE isn't collapsing adjacent vertical margins.

Oh, and allowing for different browsers having different vertical
margins on <li> elements which may affect the appearance of your <ul>s.

Hello,
I noticed that IE seems to put some kind of default margins on <li> elements
and the only way to get rid of them seems to be asigning negative margins.
To make things worse, IE5 and IE6 seem to have different defaults. Is there
an elegant way to remove these stupid margins?
Greetings,

That is, they ignore the p markup in the sense that they don't apply the
normal default top and bottom margins. This is rather odd, especially

I'm creating a common navigation bar of text "buttons" using CSS. On each

visual clue to where you are.
I thought I'd include simple <p> tags, and style them the same way as the
<a> tags, but I can't get it to work - I get different margins in each case.
I've reduced the situation to the essentials here:

In Firefox, the table moves out of its parent container with the negative
margin, but not in MSIE6.
Does someone keep a list of workarounds in dealing with problems like these
for the browsers that when listed in ranking order with respect to use,
make up the 95-99% cumulatively used browsers?
