In support to Sean's point on information architects -- if you read the book
"Information Architecture for the WWW", it will become clear that it is not
merely a fancy way of calling a web developer/programmer.

It's certainly a "cool" job title but here at Macromedia it has a very
specific meaning: someone who designs user flows and analyzes the user
experience (conceptual layout, information exposure etc). These folks
produce wireframes and mockups. They don't program. They don't develop
(except perhaps "developing design themes").
