Thanks to both Jon and Jukka for the replies!
I have resorted to determining this on the server, at html generation
time, and then putting out a specific CSS class. While the JavaScript
solution may work well in many case (thanks for the func!), I try to
avoid using JS in general, as it always ends up being more trouble
than its worth. And so far I am using no JS on this site, so...

Yes, of course.

I am so far going with the clumsy approach ;)

I am already styling inner UL elements, but I need an extra distinction
in specific cases. I probably can achieve this by using normal
selectors,
and "recursive" properties (e.g. % something of parent...). I would need
a few hours of play to be able to tell though ;(
