I understand it as a customisable starting point rather than a library. I suggest to include the normalize.css file and overwrite specific parts of it. But i am not really sure, if this is the correct way. It would be hard to update the normalize.css file than. It seems Normalize.css is not sure either.

README.md, Line 21
