Re: WAI site horizontal navigation menu - testing needed

Found just a few issues:

 - The links begin to overlap before the main page content displays a
scroll bar when the page width is reduced. It would be better for the
links to wrap on to two lines in this case, clarity is more important
than the integrity of the design in this case. Alternatively a wider
minimum width should be applied.
 - Only the browser default focus indicator is being applied on
keyboard focus, but an underline is added on hover. General rule of
thumb: in the absence of a distinct focus style, group hover and focus
selectors so that the same style applies to both states.

These issues were cross browser on a Mac.
