Hi Nic,
No worries. You're right about :first-child.
Ricardo, I have no idea why it wasn't caught in the test suite. Seems
like another handful of tests are warranted. I posted a message on the
dev list, pointing to this thread and the bug ticket, so hopefully
John can get it taken care of for 1.3.1.

Ah, Karl, I see the issue now. I was also confused with the original
usage since the discussion was about :first but he was using :first-
child. So let me ask, in your test, li a:first should only return
one element (as per docs, :first should always only return one
element), correct? And first-child would be what I originally
expected (returning 7 links)?
Can't believe I overlooked that- I stand corrected :D
