Umm, yes except, as previously mentioned, the nav walks out of the
header with font-scaling.
(hold the ctrl key down and press the + key 3 times).

Yes, leave it out for IE/7 and compliant browsers. However, it is a has
layout trigger that is needed by IE/6.0. So re-write it like this:
#footer {
clear: both;
margin: 0; padding: 0;
height: 1%;<----- :: delete
background: #222;
color: #fff;
}
And add this the star html hack that only is seen by IE/6.
* html #footer {
height: 1%;
}
