Hi Andreas,
The BibLaTeX extension provides an 'online' entry type.
http://win.ua.ac.be/~nschloe/content/bibtex-how-cite-website
I see also that R provides a 'Misc' entry type for its FAQ. Other sites
recommend 'Misc' as well.

It is good to follow existing standards, but I would prefer to not end up
cumulating all the limitations of the world in debian/usptream. Unicode,
URLs,... we are in 2012, so let's use them.
Cheers,
