I'm afraid I'm nervous about using em/% with the WordPress Twenty-Ten theme 
which largely is styled with fixed width and has so many ID and classes 
frequently applied twice on an element. Applaud you with the comfort zone to 
use % and em,  I haven't the bravery or comfort level yet in general but I'm 
certain you are correct.

To compensate (and for an empty div this theme generates) I have an IE6 
commented style sheet, the empty div "masthead" with this default theme loved 
to add extra space at the top for IE6. The authors most likely were not 
anticipating someone wanting the navbar at the top instead of the under the  
usual header area.

This worked great George, thank you! Although still fixed widths, I applied 
your concept, seems to be working beautifully in browser tests.

Many thanks,
Nancy
