No suprise that the BBC project is more complex (and probably involves lots of meetings too) than simply updating a template here and there. I suppose on the design a site front there is a blurred line between what you layout in a PSD file and laying out/mark-up in an html file. Depending on the project and time I would say PS graduating pretty quickly to an html page. Although it's not good, I think there is less distinction now between design(er) and the same person marking-up the page for a developer to then add more functionality.
You can see this happening with job specs for designers which sometimes ask for good understanding of html/css php/asp javascript actionscript DOM mySQL et al. which is moving away from the design angle a fair amount.
So I agree, moth, there's a distinction in the processes and the tools used. I guess they're saying a designer might create the design directly within an html page - which I guess many of us could and do in the right context. But probably having visualised it elsewhere beforehand.
