The selector you've written would select all items of a nested list
within your list: e.g.

<div id="nav">
<ul>
       <li>test line 1</li>
       <li>line 2
             <ul>
                 <li>This will be selected</li>
                <li>And so will this</li>
            </ul>
       </li>
       <li>line 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
