The User Interface Concepts doesn't have to just mean what is being
documented...it could be the deliverable itself. Off the top of my
head, this might include how to present a deliverable for the visualy
impaired, 504 guidelines, for the literacy-challenged (think Burger
King registers, fryers, etc).

You might be right on the technology issue, though I'd be hard
pressed to come up with too much hardware that doesn't have a
software component. Could you write about assembly line hardware
without including content on software?
