Actually, an interface designer does the same as the interaction  
designer by that definition as well. If the interface designer  
*didn't* concern themselves with the behavior they'd be simply a  
graphic or visual designer.

In fact, at most software companies, they have interaction and visual  
designers combine their work to create the interface because there  
has always been a distinct lack of people who can do both at the  
level needed to ship professional software. But given that one is an  
"interaction" designer and the other is a"visual" designer and what  
they ultimately make is the "interface," logic dictates that an  
"interface" designer would in fact do the job of both.
