RE commas after e.g. and i.e. and Bonelady's style guide table - note that these style guides fairly clearly indicate that the use of a comma or not is another US/UK difference; all the pro-commas are US, the one no-comma is UK. I.e. both are (or either style is) correct unless US proofreaders and publishers hegemonically insist that the correct is 'the' correct style!
