[Editors] website on the web site

[William Litant]

AP, the new Chicago (15th  edition), and the Microsoft Dictionary all 
prefer Web site, which is what I've always used. Newton's Telecom 
Dictionary also prefers two words, although Newton's initial caps 
every word in the dictionary (what's up with that) so one can't use 
that as a guide for capitalization. Of course, those of you who 
recall that Cambridge University research-related email of last week 
that we all got FROM AT LEAST A DOZEN SOURCES, perhaps it should be 
waepgbe.
