But where do you draw the line? That part of the fight between IA and
designer... when does IA become design? When does outlining become writing/
Are they that different? I'd say that outlining was sketching for a book

say IA is an aspect of design, and we are designing when we design IA.

anyhow, I suspect

this is a variant of defining the damn thing. If we all had the same
definition of IA, maybe we wouldn't disagree so much. Then again, we also
like to split semantic hairs... we'd probably still disagree.
