First, a suggestion on posting.  When posing a new question, start with 
a completely new piece of mail.  You used a reply to a previous question 
   which placed your new question at the end of someone else's thread, 
where it was probably overlooked all day.

I can't reproduce the image problem in my IE6.  Not sure why it would be 
failing for you.

As for accessibility, the HTML structure is always more important than 
the CSS.  As long as all the navigation is in a list, either CSS 
approach produces the same results in a screen reader.
