My own experience with wireframes and their overlap with design is a bit different from what's described here. Regarding the "designer as information architect" diagram, my experience would be better reflected as three diagrams for three different timeframes:

use this article's 2009 diagram for 1997
use the 1999 drawing for 2005, and
keep the 2009 drawing as is

That is, when I started out as an IA for the web, there were fewer people and less specialization (and less disciplined thought about information structure, interaction and flow), then more specialization to the point of stultification, and now more of an enlightened re- convergence.

Has anyone else's experience paralleled mine?
