jazz. I welcome any suggestions provided that the suggestion isn't to
switch to a liquid or elastic layout :)
Basically, anything you can think of (especially things that are an easy
fix) would be most welcome.

Tim,
Agreed. However, from a user-friendly perspective, it is very
annoying to close a window and realise that you have lost where you
were. This is where you make the decision on the purpose of the
website, whether it is purely to display that you can comply with
strict or
the framework.
You should probably ask the client why they want to use YUI, it might be
so that they can modify the design themselves, any of the other benefits
of using it should already be covered anyone who is half-decent at
markup/css.

I would probably do something like:
hN class=titleCool Hand Luke/hN
dl
dtMedium/dt
ddDVD/dd
dtEntry Date/dt
dd2007/2/6/dd
etc
/dl
I might add in some more classnames to give the markup more meaning.

Apologies, I made a silly mistake, the rows shouldn't have name in
their headers attribute. If you want to associate the cells in each row
with the film name you'll have to give the cell containing the film name
a unique id (I think).

My understanding is that screen-readers will place an audible emphasis
on em and strong tags, but do nothing for i and b. When i'm
reading a sentence that has latin phrases such as /as nauseum/, I don't
put an audible emphasis on those words, or any emphasis at all in fact.

I would have preferred CSS to support nesting of rules (example below)

#header {
