li:hover > ul

I wonder if someone would be kind enough to enlighten me about the use
of the > character in a stylesheet. E.g.

li:hover > ul {display: block;}

I think I know what the > achieves by looking at a page that uss it,
but I can't find an explanation anywhere. It would appear to be valid
css as a page which uses it
(http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html) validates, but
I can't find it mentioned in the CSS2 spec. (I'm not saying it's not
in there, I'm saying I can't find it in there.)

thanks,

mike.
