Categorization structures. Most CMS's force you into a certain structure
of categorization. Often a really simple one ("sections" or
"categories"). In my mind, a CMS should separate the categorization from
the content - and provide flexible categorization tools that can tie in
with different front ends. I know that's kinda vague, I'd be happy to
discuss this in a more practical way.
