A few months ago I was a lurker in a conversation between
dictionariasts and translators about the correct usage for home page
and the distinction between "web site" and "home page".  The general
verdict in both languages (Japanese and English) is that there should
be a distinction but the medium is a populist one and it remains to be
seen whether those who aim for some precision and meaning the the
evolution of language will be able to hold again the tide of those who
have no idea and care less of how the thing works.  One relevant point
was made that as web site of organizations develop there is less often
a single "home" page that is the index to all the rest.  Be that as it
may be, I still would rather live in a world with multiple homes in a
site than a world where a "page" includes hundreds of linked screens of
html produced images.
