I would add (at least for us):

- content separated from presentation!!

- content stored past the page level. That is, multiple content pieces 
can make up a page/document. This also allows reuse of content pieces 
between pages.

- content organized by topic and content assigned to pages in a 
brochure-like site. This allows for different views of the content such 
as a brochure-like site and a dmoz-like view.

- content can be assigned at the site level (to cascade down to all 
pages), content assigned at the folder level to cascade down from there

- pages can generated statically to HTML (text, pdf, etc) or something 
like JSP (still statically generated by the cms) to be used in a dynamic 
site.

- staging: using different environments for the different states of a 
site/project (i.e. development, quality assurance, certified, live)
--- promotion between stages

best,
-Rob
