Saying IA is about content structuring is limiting and inaccurate. IA
is about structure, sure, but not limited to content. Is the
structuring of the navigation of a system not IA? The navigation
system could be contentless, only having a Red, Blue, or Green button
w/o any label or content. But organizing those buttons is still IA in
it's purest sense.
I really don't see it being as complicated as you guys are making this
out to be. IA at its core is about structure and foundation
principles. IxD at its core is about the way that system behaves.
It's pretty simple, actually.
Cheers!

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
