That's because e.g. the third list item also matches a selector like
li+li. It is a li element that follows a li element. Using contextual
selectors like li:first-child+li you could make the rule apply to even
items only, but I'd say it really gets more confusing than the use of
class attributes (even though it would be cleaner in principle to handle
this purely inside CSS, without "polluting" the markup with class
attributes that have no logical meaning).
