If I understand your question correctly, I believe that having, nav a nav a:visited, will style the anchor when it is visited, as well as when it is not visited. If you just use nav a:visited you will style the visited link but not the not-visited link. Using nav a nav a:visited allows you to write the same styling for the anchor element in both "states".

I hope that helps. (And I hope it is correct) :P
