No fly-outs in IE6, and no fixed position either.

General flaw in your positioning-scheme, as the horizontal position
isn't given so it relies on where the horizontal nav ends up if I change
font-size.

Fix: clear below horizontal nav...

</ul>
<br style="clear: both;" />
<div id="navigation">

...but it's still not very stable with your lack of positions.

Also, that vertical nav is quite tall, so parts of it may end up below
bottom of small windows. That means: completely out of reach.

Simplest solution: use proper positioning relative to the container.
Adding...

div#container{position: relative;}

...and changing position to...

span.sidenote {right: -180px;}

...will give you the stability you want.

Why shut out IE/Mac from the navigation then? It'll probably handle them
better than IE6, which doesn't handle them at all :-)
