We are not trying to solve that problem in general, and anyway it's been
solved for areas which are solely non-technical by the creation of
Activity Modules.

I don't think that "the status quo" is that "the technical owner is the
final decision-maker", which would be implied if we created these
modules to cover each web property without at least a slot for "content
owner".

I think saying that the person responsible for the technical running of
the site is "the module owner (as currently defined)" is begging the
question (in the correct sense of that phrase).
