Actually, all of the designers, me included, at my workplace do our layouts
in Photoshop yet we all must know how to write HTML. Without knowing, at
least, HTML, I'd NEVER call a person a web designer.

Actually, I think the term of "web designer" has developed beyond it's
usage. I like to consider myself a front end web developer due to the fact
I do more than just fancy images and make things pretty. One has to build a
website that is navigatable and user friendly yet while looking good yet
download quickly. There is so much to it than just a simple image or idea.
