Yes, I agree. The customer's responsibility, IMO, is to specify the
product. All contribute, but the customer disposes. If UI expertise is of
value to the project, then the project should have UI experts, and in terms
of responsibility, it seems to me that this is a part of the product face
and features, and as such belongs under the customer reponsibility.
That said, UI development should no more be /entirely/ separate from the
programmer responsibility than any other aspect of the project. The point
is /team/, not separate /roles/.
