If you take off display: block from
form div input, form div select, form div textarea {...}
then you can remove the left-margin from form div label {...}, and it
should display OK in Safari (though Mac IE 5 will still display it
ugly).  I put up a highly-simplified version[0].

On the usability/accessibility side, in addition to what others said
already:
1. On a larger screen (1280x1024 and up) the submit button is wayyy off
to the right, kindof hiding.
2. Accesskeys are of dubious value for forms[1].
