What might the eventual Oxford or Websters dictionary definition for term WEBMASTER include? Please include part(s) of speech and tense.

What you do before you get sick of clients and turn to the dark side -> Affiliate marketing ;)

The alias or role of the person(s) responsible for the development and
maintenance of one or more web servers and/or some or all of the web pages at a web site. The term does not imply any particular level of skill or mastery (see "webmonkey").

-Dictionary.com -- But it will probably be similar. Possibly add responsibility for the development of journals, documentation, project outlines, programming or everything related to developing one media aspect or another on the WWW.

Webmonkey does imply a certain level of skill, or lack thereof:

webmonkey
A largely unskilled Web worker - one with a passable understanding of HTML but little else.

It is often supposed that, in the New Media food chain, there is nothing lower than a webmonkey. Alas, there is: people who barely have the skills to use FrontPage; these people are called "typists".

Also from Dictionary.com
