I think you make a really good point, maybe it is more the two disciplines never realised they where exactly the same!

But then you could argue going back 15 years, SEO was about keywords and meta tags, links didn't really come into it at that stage.

I totally disagree that "In the past, the two disciplines used to work completely independently of one another". SEO has always been one part technical, one part PR when done right. People looking for shortcuts and lacking imagination has developed schemes for building links just for SEO, but the truly worthwhile links have always been from PR.
