Paul,
You could use a universal selector like this:
#article * { color: blue;}
This saves specifying elements within the container, but it will color ALL
elements within the container to blue - so it may be overkill for your
needs.
Well supported by modern browsers including IE5, 5.5 and 6 (unbelievable!) -
but not supported by NN4.
