It was mainly meant for text browsers. I am not sure screen readers should
really read these links.

Is there a guarantee that this will be rendered correctly on all browsers?

Well, it used to be like that, but recent changes in the HTML code broke
it. I changed it again not to show the navigation.

Fixed.

Changed.

I deactivated stylesheets for Netscape 4.x, as they caused most of the
trouble. This means the page renders not as good as on other browsers,
but it is reasonably useable.

Yes, with other versions of XHTML the problems would be far greater.

I removed the style sheet, as it is no longer in use.
Thanks for your comments,
