The reason I put "web designer" in quotes, was that the web is actually 
the hyperlinks that produce a rich network between multiple sites, 
whereas most people designing documents are not interested in designing 
to create such a web, and the network of links is a very low priority.

A web designer is really a designer of media for consumption using the 
graphical rendering capabilities of "web" browsers, rather than their 
web capabilities.

I don't think I have ever used "stylists" in quotes.

I would note that I find a lot of people, at least amongst the over 45s, 
who really would prefer simple, static, "web site" design, and really do 
not like the trend to pop-ups, disguised links, etc.  These are not 
people of whom I've been asking leading questions.
