This has been a problem in our industry for as long as I can remember, but it
is good to see it raised. I think people tend to forget what there business is
actually about and start thinking about theoretical cash-cows. My favourite
example was a rather well know computer manufacturer that, having had a web
site created for them, suddenly listed "web site design" as one of their
services, alongside, um, making and selling computers.
