Charles,
This (note the space between the li and the colon - without the space,
it just doesn't work at my end)
#header li :first-letter
is equal to
*#header li *:first-letter
Ask the oracle:
http://penguin.theopalgroup.com/cgi-bin/css3explainer/selectoracle.py
"Selects the first letter of any element that is a descendant of a li
element that is a descendant of any element with an id attribute that
equals header."
In your example, the only descendant of a li that ... is the link, so
basically, the rule is addressing the first letter of the anchor.
