The difficulty I always have with the CMS concept is that it is really an admission that HTML has failed to achieve one of its primary goals: to be an authoring language that ordinary users can use directly. In my understanding of the original web concept, a CMSed page would reduce to a list of links to the actual detail pages written by the information providers.
