Paige,

That's
(1) a very limited view by visual designers (do HTML form elements also 
interfere with the visual design of the site? Should we lose those as well? How 
about hyperlinks themselves? etc.) and 
(2) an argument that could be fixed by visual designers themselves: you should 
be able to work with them on a visual design of the distinguishing element 
itself to reach a satisfactory solution that matches both the functional and 
visual design.

I'd like to hear the other arguments though. Are they about users and their 
ability to discern the difference by themselves?
