Maybe the point was lost - copy editors shouldn't necessarily be working on 
coding and coders shouldn't necessarily be working on editing.  It would be 
*wonderful* if you could find somebody that does both - most of the time 
that's not the case - although agreed that both disciplines should be 
familiar with the other.

What you usually get is someone who is good at one job, and *mildly* capable 
of the other.   Then the job has to be done twice which comes out of the 
designer's pocket, not the client.

Just my opinionated thoughts....  :-)
