If I understand you correctly, you just need to make the A element occupy
the entire content of the enclosing LI. The simple way is to make the A
element a block in CSS terms and set a width for it. For example:
#navlist { width: 8em; }
#navlist a { display: block; width: 100%; }
#navlist :hover { background: yellow; }

It's syntactically wrong by HTML rules, so in principle all bets are off.
In practice, browsers might do what you want, but there's really no reason
to use such tricks.
