Hello, in your case the result should be the same.
Only if you had used both selectors, then the rule for #nav li ul li would have a higher specificity than #nav li li, so if there are definitions for the same properties in both rules, then the ones from the first would overwrite the ones from the second. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#specificity for more information.
