#64I really like this but I wish the documentation included recommended DOM structure / css styles... it's not as plug and play as the docs suggest

#65Just get rid of the damn headers. Users don't want them. They are just misguided ways of trying to raise retention, but really what they do is make your site less pleasant to use, which then makes me not want to come back later.
serious question: do you use the web much with on your phone? There's no "Home" key on your phone that instantly takes you to the top of the page. Scrolling and scrolling and scrolling is annoying. The main critique I have for the OP is that is that it should be responsive -- and only work on tablets and mobile

There is, at least on iOS. You can tap the status bar and it will quickly jump to the top of the page.

I absolutely loathe fixed headers, but I think this script is pretty cool. The headers stay out of your way when you are reading, and when you actually want to use the navigation you don't have to scroll all the way to the top. I really see no downside, except "more JavaScript." (People who are complaining about JavaScript: you really aren't going to like the Web in 5 years)
