Andrei:

This issue of "how to define" comes up over and over and, IMO, is a can of
worms. Rather than trying for one size fits all, I would suggest that we
think about a competency model in which Joe can be a "basic designer" and
Sue has added a specialty or competence in lightweight prototyping and Sally
also has an IA competence.

Then all the designer's skills would be clear upfront.

This is how MD's do it. Every doctor has a set of basic skills and then they
specialize. Psychologists do that as well (e.g. you can get a specialization
in forensic psychology, family psych etc.).

None of this will ever be easy or free from emotion but I think we need to
be very careful about what sort of box we place ourselves in.
