The reason I did it this way is that I personally hate to have to
scroll down to get to "real" content if I browse a site with lynx.

Currently, if you don't have CSS enabled, the site looks like a "non-frame
version" but you can still use it very well (although the navigation is
more gopher-like, but thanks to the prev/next widget you /can/ move
"sideways").

If the menubar would come first, you'd have to scroll past it on every
page, which I find annoying.

IMO the page degrades better this way.

Another (minor) advantage is that the content is displayed first. Nobody
vists the mod_perl site to view our marvelous NavBar, the users are there
for the content.
