Oh, I'm only now realizing this is one of the items already in the quarterly errata column, in which case I imagine it's fine if it's going through the CfC right now. In other words, we've already held up the informative end of the PR, IMO there's no reason to bother splitting it now. |

Noticed this as part of #4384 but then found a few more occurrences. The predominant use across all documents is "email" (not hyphenated), but there are a few stragglers that use "e-mail". Strangely, this is not covered in https://www.w3.org/guide/manual-of-style/ but in various places across W3C the non-hyphenated version is used. Note: this PR contains changes to both normative and non-normative documents Co-authored-by: Mike Gower <mikegower@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 0d7237b)
