I agree this is a good implementation of a static nav bar - but I wonder if that's more a fact that screen-resolution has made it more viable. Back in 1996, I wasn't willing to give up even 100 pixels to a fixed nav bar on a 800x600 (or, gasp, a 640x480) screen. Today, with average monitor heights in the thousands of pixels, 100 pixels is a much easier sell. Re: Navigation as framesets.
