Impressive! I love this design.
I just had to “check” those visited links – yes, they work in IE6. IE 5.01 does not apply the padding, so the check mark covers part of the link text. IE 5.5 seemed okay when the page loaded – briefly. Unfortunately my version of IE 5.5 crashes every time I go to your home page.
I found all the links in this post interesting and worth a read. In fact I was just reading the article on wireframes seconds before I surfed to your site.

Of course you did, David.
As I mentioned, I still have to do some testing on the site. I don’t have earlier versions of IE installed on my system at home. I will try to figure out what is causing the issue, but I have some other things that I want to tweak. While I’m not so worried about the padding issues in various IE 5 versions, since only about 3% of the Internet surfers use various incarnations of that browser, I certainly don’t want the site to crash when it’s loaded.
I do like the checkmarks on visited links. I think it’s a clear indicator that a site has been visited. Of course who knows how long this “fad” will last.
