Once again, Expression is not about web page, but *application* design. It
doesn't force the designer to concentrate on implementation at all.

It's not *missing* it; it renders it obsolete. It's not *another* step; it's
fully functional. It's aggressively against the notion of wireframes, flow
charts, diagrams and such. The application doesn't need such
ambiguity-inducing kludges; the application speaks for itself. Instead of
abstracting structure/flow/etc out of the design process as disjointed
deliverables, one designs the application itself...directly, without having
to resort to stand-ins. It *is* a different way of designing.
