Good point, Derek...slipped my mind, even though I actually implemented it
on our work site(s) http://www.salford.ac.uk/ - at the moment, only for the
left-hand side navigation. And you can group the above and save yourself
repetition. In one of my stylesheets, for instance, I have

#navbar li a:focus,
#navbar li a:hover,
#navbar a:active {
    background: #fbfbfb;
}
