Does this really need to be stated now, in the year
2003? I mean for a serious techcomm/writ candidate?

Yes, you'd be surprised at how many writers and editors would rather
work with hard copies of intermediate drafts! And that requires extra
effort (typing in text they could have typed in from the beginning).
Extra effort always means more cost to the firm's clients...and budgets
are very strict, so everyone needs to have some project management
skills (certainly the employer, as you mentioned, but also all the
employees).
