Defining software architecture roles.

As a member of the software development community, I run into a lot of people who claim to be software architects. Its a heavily overloaded term in the industry, and is a source of confusion even for others experienced in dealing with them. Sometimes I've even claimed to be one myself, even though I know it can cause confusion. There are a few consistencies that I see filter through though, at least in the industry in Australia.
