With some creative list use, your nav could have been done in an unordered list just fine, but it would have added a fair bit of time to the design.
I often use regular links instead of lists as well, so please don't think I'm scoffing.

In firefox, when "text-indent:-9999px;" is used, firefox will outline an active link all the way across the page.

Correction, yes indeed it is still a list of links. Just because they needed to be positioned independantly (well, in a circle) is no reason to avoid use of proper, 'correct' markup here.

As I said, poor CSS usage.
http://www.cssmastery.com/ - I haven't actually read this, but it comes highly recommended.

True salathe, I could have added classes to each of the <li's> I suppose. When it comes up for a redesign i'll do that.

text-indent: -99999px
is something I truely hate - infact I hate pretty much all text replacements (ie an image where it should be text).
If you're coding to be user friendly you really aren't by using an image where it should be text.

CSS isn't just being about user friendly. If everyone who used CSS was completely user friendly, the designs would be quite boring. People who want better readability can simply disable the style sheet and read the content that way.
