I couldn't agree more. This is exactly why a UX team needs to have designers and developers involved. Or people who can think in both spaces.
The work of 37Signals is a perfect example of this.. they have contributed to both the practice of web based UX and web development.. They don't distinguish between the two really.. and the people who write the software also work on the UI. They might be an edge case, but nonetheless are a great example of how a UX team can produce a great product.
