This information just arrived in the free _Editorium Update_ newsletter (http://www.editorium.com), which is a great free resource if you're a Word user. Two online style guides:

One from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style
Jack Lynch's Rutgers Guide to Grammar and Style: http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/

Like any other style guide, they're a resource, not a book of law. Use them to supplement your research, provide insights into alternatives, and possibly even help you to understand why something is done.
