My God, no. They'd probably try to alter the copy themselves, or, heaven
forbid, actually make suggestions for improvement. Can you imagine? It
would be anarchy. With a proper content management system there is no
reason for designers to interact with the text at all, except to lay it
out. And when designers ask me for text to lay out, I provide them sample
text in a mixture of Basque and Manx Gaelic, tailored to an equivalent
word-count.
I think my views will become increasingly widespread. I need to write them
down.
