The biggest thing I see is that while it looks great that you used relative
font sizes, by fixing the height of the tables on the main page, you get
lots of overlapping text when you increase the font size.

Try it: go there and hit Ctrl-Scroll Wheel (or go the View Menu and hit
Text Size or Text Zoom, depending on browser).

That would be something key for accessibility.
