... unless you're using a screen reader, then you'll need to go to the bottom 
of the page to access the navigation.  This is why they have skip links.  

As for the long words not wrapping, why not use: "word-wrap: break-word;"

I believe content is king and should precede navigation in the html.

Not all of them are necessary but primarily because font-scaling in
mobile hand-sets causes long words to break the outermost containing
block [producing horizontal page wiggle ]. In plain English one has to
scroll both horizontally and vertically to read the text.  And using
-moz-hyphens:auto;-ms-hyphens:auto;-o;webkit-hyphens:auto;hyphens:auto;
is not even close to being ready for prime-time.
