Are you *sure* that parent > child doesn't work in IE6?
I could see that this CSS declaration, and pretty sure it doesn't work
ul > li {

}
but part of the magic of jQuery (and other libraries) is that it takes
that into account already..... and saying $("ul > li") should work no
matter what (supported) browser it runs on
