Description
HTML5 selectors like $('nav ul li:first-child') don’t seem to work in IE6.
This might be _related_ to bug #5515, but it’s clearly a different, more general issue.
Looks like a Sizzle ‘bug’ (?).
Testcase: http://jsbin.com/ihuxu (uses the HTML5 shiv for obvious reasons)

That’s weird. I tested it this morning in IE6, (IE8 as) IE7 and (IE8 as) IE8 on a WinXP machine; only IE6 failed.
After reading your comment, I checked it again in on my Macbook via Parallels (WinXP SP3), and got it working in IE8 but not in (IE8 as) IE7. More weirdness!

Maybe this ‘bug’ has something to do with .nodeName case sensitivity: http://ejohn.org/blog/nodename-case-sensitivity/

Fixed
Here’s a new test case, using jQuery 1.4rc1: http://jsbin.com/alaga
Works in IE6, 7 and 8. Yay!
Just wanted to point out that this isn't working for me in IE7 or IE8 either.
