Check out the Victorian Government Web Content Management Requirements Definition Report for an *exhaustive* list of CMS features. http://www.egov.vic.gov.au/Victoria/StrategiesPoliciesandReports/Reports/Con tent-Management/content-management.htm (You need to use the email address on the webpage to request a copy of the spreadsheet.)
The list is used to select large-scale enterprise CMSs for organisations with many departments, servers, sites etc. Unless you're aiming for that market you probably won't want to include many of these features in your system, but I think its worthwhile to understand just how far you can go, and what it is that many large organisations are looking for.
