Oddly enough, I'm working with designers right now who haven't had others
preparing wireframes for them very often. The first ones I handed over, I
expected to run into some annoyance. Instead, the design team was quite
happy that they didn't have to worry about those decisions, and that they
could focus on only the visual design elements. Depends on the designer,
depends on the IA.
