I´m not chastising graphics designers for not performing their work as
trained. I believe many rightly assume they should put good graphics
design  (visually pleasing design) on top, and think about other
considerations later, like open standards or accesibility. I´t s a
bias of their profession.

If that wasn´t the case, Flash wouldn´t have got where it is today. I
just think they should work alongside IT staff to ensure their nice
design can be properly seen on the widest range of access devices.

I have heard too many times  "DHTML doesn´t give me the same
flexibility as Flash!" or as of late "I need to put 2400dpi bitmaps
embedded in that PDFto avoid jagged lines when printing with the xyz
printer" ;).

But we´re going off-topic here...
