Predicting the future of The Times Styles

Philip B. Corbett writes in "The Latest in Style" about some changes to the Times's style book. A couple of the items are worth noting for hints about future styles (in all of these cases, we're already using email, website, and lower-case web). Emphasis added in this article.

We no longer have to write about people sending “an e-mail message” — we can call it “an e-mail.” The term is also acceptable as a verb. (For now, at least, we are keeping the hyphen for this and similar coinages like e-commerce and e-reader.)

For now, we’ll continue to capitalize Web and Internet, and we’ll keep “Web site” as two words.
