Might be a good reason to look at some commercial products, where it is
considered a low-end feature.

In the context of Mr. Bain's argument, "remote-publish" simply means the
CMS ftp's or sftp's the static html files to another server for web
hosting. "Incremental page updating" just means that you can publish one
page (or group of pages) at a time, rather than pushing the whole site out
for minor page updates.

You would want these two features because separating the data-management
system (with it's many moving parts) and the web page delivery system will
scale better and much cheaper. And as a site grows, you don't want to ftp
a whole site with thousands of pages just because someone fixed a typo
somewhere.
