Writing could also be considered Development, a number of Web creation 
tools end up there.

What is the difference between creating a web page and creating a 
document? A document creator, (AKA word processor) Is a text document with

different? PD is more of a development thing in most ways.

I think the finished product is the main thing to look at.
