What is default list styling (CSS)?

Question

On my website I use reset.css. It adds exactly this to list styles:

ol, ul {
    list-style: none outside none;
}
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border: 0 none;
    font-size: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    outline: 0 none;
    padding: 0;
    vertical-align: baseline;
}

The problem is that all list styles are set to NONE with this. I want to revert back original list styles (default) for all lists on website sub-pages only (all lists in .my_container).

When I try settings things like list-style-type to inherit is doesn't inherit the browser's default styles just for this CSS property.

Is there any way to inherit the original browser's styles for certain properties without modifying reset.css?

I think this is actually what you're looking for:

.my_container ul
{
    list-style: initial;
    margin: initial;
    padding: 0 0 0 40px;
}

.my_container li
{
    display: list-item;
}
