Ian: One small note - in my experience, when using CSS background images, 
the loading of the HTML is asynchronous to the loading of the CSS background 
images. Your HTML page would load first, once that is done, the browser then 
slots in the CSS images as it loads them. Perhaps you could combine the nav 
images somewhat (if not all of them into one image, then try to cut down on 
the number of images used - combine the normal and hover states into a 
single image, and also give the nav item a background colour the same colour 
as the biggest part of the image you are using.
