I think that designing outside of the 'do-ability' is a difficult thing for most. That's one reason why I encourage designers to sketch and not do concept designs on the computer. The subtle refinements sometimes take away from 'what could be'. I have also seen great things come from the designer who did not know you couldn't do something. I was not there, but kind of wonder if that was not part of the genesis for ajax. We often have dev reviews where a developer says no to something... only to come back and show us how we might be able to get it done. I love when this happens! Every design process is better off starting with a period of divergent thinking. Take the constraint off and work with only the goals. I have found that sometimes constraints are not as real as clients make them out to be. Once they see what is possible... they second guess and even remove constraints.
