Indeed.

Not until you suggested it, as all I've read has stated that IE6 only
supports :hover on a tags, implying that anything on li:hover would be
completely ignored.
While this has resolved the z-order issue, it caused a new set of
problems:
- In IE, the submenus are now positioned absolutely rather than relative
to their parent items. Additional spacing (blank lines) has also
appeared after submenu items containing a tags.[1]
- In Firefox, submenu items now jump to the right when moused over.
These changes are currently viewable at the previously-mentioned URL,

[1] I've determined that the additional spacing is due to my having set
display:block on a tags so that the entire line will highlight on
mouseover rather than just the text portion. Based on your initial
suggestion, I tried moving the background-color change from a:hover to
li:hover, but, while IE6 may recognize position:relative in li:hover,
changing background-color in li:hover has no apparent effect.
Setting display:block only in a:hover was also unsatisfactory, as it led
to the gaps appearing on mouseover, causing subsequent menu items to
jump around. Setting a's margin, padding, and border to 0 along with
display:block produced no discernable change in the undesired spacing.
