It looks nice (I'd use a darker green for body though)
I think you *need* to include a skipnav link.

IE5.1 and 5.5 Win:
It looks really good in both versions, but the wrapper is not centered. For
this, you'll need to use "text-align:center" in body and then
"text-align:left" in #wrapper.
As a side note, you can use "#00c" instead of "#0000cc" for your color
declarations (format #aabbcc becomes #abc)
For "margin:1.2em 0em 1.2em 0em" you can go shorthand like this
"margin:1.2em 0" (a 0 is a zero, no matter what dimension you chose).

This technique works in IE5 Mac:

If you read the last page of this article ("pushing the envelope"), you'll
see that it is also a bit better in term of accessibility (re: tabbing
navigation and JS-challenged browsers)

Nice work, good luck with this project
