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.

Ingo
