Maybe?

While I'm pretty in favor of an umbrella concept, even if it means UX
will cover "us"
the way "engineer/programmer" covers Java, Perl, .NET, etc. primary folks.
(As when I've referred to myself as a designer, that term is
established to be understood
as "visual designer" at best...I was once asked what lines of clothing
was my favorite)

But on conferences, the only evidence given so far has been what sorts
of conferences
each individual prefers.  That's cool, and I agree with what's been
said, and I can even
feel what you're saying here, yet we'd be talking about restructuring
some pretty
established organizations (if we're waving a Wacom magic association
changing wand
here, of course :)) - how do we believe this will happen?
