Site design looks very good on my Mac (FF 1.1), and good but slightly different in IE. However, I would suggest that you validate both your XHTML and CSS before addressing any layout bugs you may hear about, since you do have some errors. After that, consider a couple of things:
1. In your top navigation, you use vertical pipes plus nbsp's to space them apart, but I suggest that you consider a more semantic alternative. Give padding to your li items to space them apart, and borders to create the vertical pipes. And if, for example, you assign border-right values to each item, then simply zero out the border for your last navigation item, and you'll be set (ex: #topnav li.last { border-right-width: 0px;}).
2. I like the ability to switch from low to high contrast, but the layout actually shifts when doing so. I'd address this.
3. When I increase the text sizing, your masthead image moves very little, so it doesn't take many size jumps to start overlapping page elements. Text sizing is always a balancing act, but I just wanted you to consider the issue.
