It'll probably involve more tables to get this done well enough, but I suggest
moving it to the top of the sidebar currently at the left. Then you can bump the
rest of the page up quite a bit, only the menu being somewhat lower than the
rest. D'll still be at the top, but not in the way, like it currently is. You
might have to make it a bit smaller for it to fit properly, but I don't think
that matters.

Also, I'd suggest an <img> tag with alt text instead of a background image as it
currently is: with images off, or a browser that doesn't show them at all,
there's nothing at the top of the page remotely resembling a header.

<nitpick>

Your HTML doesn't validate: if you're going to specify a doctype why not conform
to it? Might as well leave it out unless you're going to fix it.

I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think you need those &nbsp; entities in the
banner and sash divs.

If you can, move the header's HTML code to the bottom of the file: in a
text-only browser, it's annoying to have to skip past the menu on every page.
Then you can make a "skip to menu" link which is hidden with display: none (off
the top of my head... I _think_ Lynx & co. display such anyway, but I'm not
sure... it might be some other attribute, but it can be done).

</nitpick>

Other than that, the layout's quite good. <g>
