Okay, so on closer inspection, that is non-compliant (well, violates a 
SHOULD), but it's a damn minor point. Just don't do silly things like that. 
:)

As for the other issues, well, it looks alright on a browser that renders it 
properly.

But might I suggest that you could recreate it with clever use of float: and 
clear:, and without any pixel specifications (replaced mostly by %), and with 
no height specifications (replaced by nothing whatsoever). There might be 
need for one position: relative, but actually, I think not.

Anyway, that'll make the layout much more flexible on browsers of various 
sizes and fonts of various sizes.
