Something you could do, Wordwind, is get copies of 19th century or early 20th century books on grammar and usage (some are on the internet), and see how much of their advice is still current. Also, I think the latest edition of Fowler's (edited by Burchfield, I believe) does have discussions on how usage has changed on some points.
