A person who does only HTML markup, css etc is in no way shape or form a developer and should not have that in their title. They author content. Their title should indicate that.
Also having designer in the job title implies skills that a person that authors only HTML has. Sure it sounds more impressive, but it really doesn't describe the job that well.
This industry is littered with people that learn a little HTML and advertise themselves as web developers. It makes it a total PITA to sift through all of the garbage resumes out there trying to find people that actually develop!
