The _s (or Underscores) theme is a great starter theme. It's not a child theme, rather a barebones template that you can build on. It includes many features such as HTML5 templates, custom header, custom background and theme options implementations, custom template tags, 5 sample CSS layouts, starter non-presentational CSS that you can build on, and lots more. You can learn more about it, and create your own Underscores-based theme on its website, Underscores.me

You can edit the style.css file and replace the already present CSS reset with the HTML5 Doctor one – bungeshea Jan 1 at 7:47

The whole point of a stylesheet, in my humble opinion, is avoiding that sort of preliminary low-level work. In theory, the parent theme should create the basic foundation, leaving the child theme to deal exclusively with matters directly relating to the end-user experience.

I would recommend that you start with a blank child theme, rather than adapting somebody else's. The Graphene theme is a personal favorite of mine to build child themes on because it starts out looking pretty sharp and it includes a smorgasbord of hooks which allow your child theme to adapt it to your liking.

To get started, install the Graphene theme, then follow the clear and easy WordPress Codex article on Child Themes.
