> Philippe: why can nav ul li be simplified to nav li?

(in addition to what Chris Rockwell mentioned)

Both selectors basically target the same element; 'nav li' has some advantages, 
such as less work to type (and thus slightly reduce the bloat in a stylesheet) 
and faster to read; it is faster to parse for the browser, it doesn't have such 
a high specificity (high specificity is something ok when you really, really 
need it).

In a similar fashion, your 'nav ul li a' in another thread could easily be 
written as 'nav a'.
