Associated Press style says it's Internet and Web.

Actually, I disagree whole-heartedly. As a Technical Program Manager at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA, where the first graphical Web server was developed), I've had a lot of experience with the Internet and its terminology.
Generally speaking, an internet is just a bunch of networks connected together. The Internet refers to the publicly accessible one that everyone's familiar with, but it's entirely possible that other internets can be developed. We're working on creating a new internet to replace the old -- how do we differentiate the two?
So I'm going to keep calling it the Internet, Web, and 'Net in anything that I write.
Just my $.02. :)
