Can any IT buffs out there tell me if there is a 'correct' usage
for white paper? I mean the IT reports rather than the UK
government White Papers.

My author uses whitepaper but a web search also throws up white
paper/Whitepaper/ White Paper, ie every possible combination. As
this is not my field, I'll leave it alone, unless anyone can give
me advice on predominant usage - any offers?

I don't know if there is any officially "correct" version, all I
can say is that I specialize in translating IT stuff and I'm
pretty sure I've only ever seen it as 2 separate words in
English, often with initial caps.

It's usually "white paper" here in Canada.

I am probably displaying some embarrassing ignorance here, but
could someone explain the hierarchy of these papers? 

I hear White Papers and Green Papers mentioned regularly on the
Radio, but never have I paused to consider the implications of
these labels. Which is more important in politics (and why)? Are
there any other coloured Papers?
