 the area behind the text stays white.

 I think a background with subtle texture will look better than just a
 plain color.

 they appear in this mock-up. They would span the width of the page from
 edge to edge of the browser window, widescreen & normal aspect monitors
 alike. I suppose I can come up with an alternate method of displaying the
 nav links if it becomes an issue.

 of the page, and realistically, this is how it will inevitably look to
 some visitors whose window height is taller than the content on the page
 (for example, when no scrollbar is visible).

 change the fact that lower content pages may appear this way to some
 visitors with higher monitor resolutions. In the event that there is
 enough content to fill the browser window, it would appear the same as in
 the first mock-up, when the page is scrolled to the bottom.

 Would it be better if we had a vertical design (where the content part of
 the page stretches from the top to the bottom of the monitor) instead?
 Then again, most of the pages will probably have quite a bit of content,
 so this might not be a problem for most users.
