Looks very nice. One question-
It's mentioned that the main tabs employ background images and that if
CSS is disabled, the plain text of the tabs is visible. But if only
images are disabled, then the tabs cannot be seen because of the
indent. I don't disagree with this approach/concession, but have been
called to task in the past for using similar methods and having them
deemed inaccessible.
