While I wouldn't take this as definitive usage, the W3C has the following
text (from the Head of Communications) on their site: "...simplifies
Website maintenance, promotes Web page accessibility, and makes the Web
faster."  <URL:http://www.w3.org/> (09/30)

Website but Web page. Go figure. Maybe one's to be used when referring to
pages coded according to HTML3 and the other's to be used for pages coded
according to HTML4? ;)
