Roger--

For some background on this kind of thing (although not necessarily 
exactly what you want, and in some cases out of date), you might want to 
look at:

Google's web authoring statistics:
http://code.google.com/webstats/index.html

OCLC's Web characterization project: 
http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/archive/wcp/

W3C's Web Characterization Activity:  http://www.w3.org/WCA/

Have you tried contacting Google?
