Wired Magazine planning Web-oriented style book

According to Jon Friedman over at MarketWatch, tech-minded publication Wired has plans to release a style book with the 21st-century journalist in mind (don’t bother with the video, it’s annoyingly pointless). Evan Hansen, Wired.com editor-in-chief says:

“There is often a separation between editorial and technology,” he said. “We’re trying to create a culture where there is a lot of parity. We want to give editorial people a primer on what do you need to know to work well with the tech people. And the tech people can learn about news people.”

Through bad reporting on Friedman’s part, obviously trying desperately to be cool, I can’t tell if the style book is meant to complement the AP and Chicago Style Books or replace them. I would think Wired would not try and reinvent the wheel and is instead making a niche style book. I may be a tech-head, but no one is taking my AP book from me, I love that thing.
