Well sort of. You are using both a class and an ID. There may be times
when you want to, but in this instance probably not. If there will just
be one of these elements ever, then ID is appropriate.
So if you will only have one submenu ul, ever, then ID is the way to go
for the UL.
But if for example you may have a couple of ul submenus (one for each
category of menu links or something), then you want a class as there can
be more than one use of a class.
Conversely I presume you are using a list because you want to use
multiple li tags in it. So you would not give an id to that li tag as
you will have multiples, So you almost certainly want class and not id
for the li tag.
Then to style an id you use #elementname versus to style a class you use
.elementname.
You may also be able to simply refer to #sub-menu-page ul li {} to
address the li tag within the submenu li.
