To me it seems that SEO is a profession that exists because of things web designers & marketing folk neglect,
and a lack of communication between the two. In my mind SEO could/should be a secondary skill of a professional web designer,
a skill that a marketing department would make use of. Thus removing SEO as a single profession in larger type companies, if you catch my drift?

In my experience which is not seasoned...yet. The above statement is a BAD mixture.
A good designer brings un-scorned creativity to the project, while an SEO seeks to make that excellent eye candy perform.
The problem is this, and I even find myself in this rut when I design, a designer who strives to be an SEO cannot deliver the stellar designs of one not stained by the performance effects of the design.
A great designer will build a site around the theme and the total user experience without prejudice, then an SEO will find a happy medium to bring the expected performance to the project.
Just my opinion....
