I'm just a random Nano user, but here's what I think:

The first improvement that should be made to the site is to fix the
errors in the markup[1], starting with the doctype declaration.

Adjusting the header to use the same font as the navigation bar, use the
whole width and have no top margin (as you did) is also a good idea.

Maybe the table-based layout could be replaced by a box-model-based one
at some point.

However:

I don't see why Nano's website should depend on Javascript in any capacity.

They only work with Javascript enabled. Additionally, they conflict with
the standard key bindings in quite some browsers. I've tested this in
Firefox. Really, anything that takes you to another page when you hit
Ctrl+C is not sane.

What's the merit?

“Stuff” obviously includes removing the horizontal rule above the
navigation bar and removing the underlinings from the navigation links.

I don't have a strong opinion on the <hr>, but links should better be
underlined.
