Closest work with open child selector

Closest work with open child selector

 I'm not sure delegating from non-document elements is not officially supported.  But, I'd like to be able to do something like the following:


$(">ul>li>a", el).live("click", func)

because: $(el).find(">ul>li>a") works.

for this to work, filter would need a context, but this starts going into Sizzle.  Is this something sizzle could support?
