Big surprise, but when I use styles on a navigation list, the first item of
a UL in the list (displayed in NN4.5) does not pick up the right style.
Rather, it retains the style of the paragraph above. In practice, that means
the first line of the list shows a larger font than the rest of the items in
the list. (A second issue is that the UL does not pick up the correct margin
above and below it in NN4.5 like it does in IE5.)

Here's the code of the navigation list:

<P class="item"><A class="item" href="../efin.html"><B>e-Finance
Solutions</B></A></P>

<UL class="item">
<LI><A class="subitem" href="efin_over.html"><B>What is
e-Finance?</B></A></LI>
<LI><A class="subitem" href="exp.html"><B>Captura Expense</B></A></LI>
<LI><A class="subitem" href="pcard.html"><B>Captura P-Card</B></A></LI>
</UL>

<P class="item"><A class="item"
href="../deploy.html"><B>Deployment</B></A></P>
<P class="item"><A class="item" href="../serv.html"><B>Services</B></A></P>

Here's the style sheet entries for .item and .subitem:

.ITEM {
	text-decoration : none;
	font-size : .8em;
	font-family : Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
	font-weight : bold;
	font-style : normal;
	color : #000066;
	}

.SUBITEM {
	font-family : Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
	color : #000066;
	font-weight : bold;
	font-style : normal;
	text-decoration : none;
	font-size : .7em;
	}
