The design looks great.  The only problem I see is the varying designs
used throughout the site.  It is odd that some have the ying-yang thingy
in the centre of the page, others don't.

It downloaded pretty quickly on my cable connection, don't know if that
is of any use. :)

The navigation takes a bit of thought to work out.  I like the idea of
having the common links at the top of the individual pages.  However,
the use of the inverted images as links just confuses the matter.

It might be worth moving the w3c logos from the bottom of the home page.
 As I find lost of my users are more in favour of navigating to the
specific parts of a site rather than reading a homepage, it might be
worth mving them to the top of the page.  This way they get noticed by
everyone who comes to your site.
