Excellent concept.
Since this is a newsgroup about critiquing HTML, I'll stick to that.

- Passes both HTML and CSS validation. Yay!

- Uses a Transitional DTD. Should be Strict.
- Ancient tables-abused-for-layout style.
- Unreadable small font size: 12px, 75% of my preferred size.
- Unreadable small font size is in px units. Not resizeable by IE.

- The menu item borders do not line up with the curved images.
- Menu dropdowns do not work when Javascript is disabled. The main items
look like links but are not.

The layout is rather brittle. Zoom the font size and see what happens
(you'll have to use Firefox).
