Yes, you're right. However, I think that I am talking about users doing domain modeling (in the sense of users labeling their current use types and link types themselves, not in the sense of their defining the visual interfaces of domains, beyond selecting ready-coded interfaces and applying them to particular contexts), but I think I just have to make occasional comments about the existing interface from time to time.
