Standard list of WCMS features

This is a variation on a classic newbie question, but please bear with
me.

I need a detailed list of standard web CMS features (roles, workflow,
templating etc.), from a 'reputable' source (which means, ideally, a
company with brand recognition in the business world in this instance). 

The reason I need this is not because I do not know what a WCMS consists
of (hopefully I learnt that through hanging around on lists like this
one for a few years!), its because I've been asked by a client to
objectively evaluate their existing CMS package. Therefore I am looking
for a detailed list of features to use as a benchmark.

I can/will refer to some of the standard texts that people in this
community often use: Boiko, Hackos, Rockley and, of course, CMS Watch.
Unfortunately, I know my life will be easier if I also reference a
report from a company my client will be familiar with. Something from
Forrester or Gartner would be ideal, but I can't find anything from them
that is both up-to-date and comprehensive.

I guess I'm also interested to know whether there is any consensus on
this list on what would be the definitive references on this topic.

Thanks in advance,

Jason
