As I understand it, the report is about an holistic approach to positioning Britain's as a leading digital economy. The report seems to cover digital literacy and competencies more from the point of view of driving the economy than anything else, so it can only be expected to go so far in defining them. Other initiatives and existing programmes (including the National Curriculum) will have their own - complementary - agendas.

Interrogating language structures, understanding how they work, building new stuff based on that knowledge. That's what literacy is about generally whether it's reading books, absorbing old media or getting to grips with digital online stuff. Real insight here Pete – great stuff.
