In our company, there is such a role, although that role now is usually
filled by our most experienced technical writers. The architect is only
asked to create a detailed outline; specify the audience, voice, goals,
etc.; and estimate the hours required to complete the document. This is
especially useful for a large document that is significantly different
from anything the client has done before.
