[WEB4LIB] spelling conventions

[Sloan, Bernie]

Actually, I don't think it's a silly question. I've wondered the same
when writing grant proposals.

I can't point you to a source that helps, but if I had to vote on style
and convention, I would pick:

Web page
Web site

(I agree on the capitalization of "Internet" and "Web").
