What you are asking for is what I personally call a Content Management
System, ie. the backend of a publishing system
[user] <- PS <- CMS <- [developer]
or, even better
[user] <- KMS <- [developer]
where KMS stands for Knowledge Management System (integrating PS + CMS).
Believe me, this is exactly the direction I want to go because I need it
for my own needs (both personal and professional).
But I strongly doubt this will need a dynamic sitemap implementation: it
need a powerful sitemap editing solution, that is correct, but that's a
different story.
For example, when you write your java code, you don't complain because
java code doesn't dynamically recompiles itself, you complain because
either your compiler is slow, your IDE sucks or your classloader is
broken.
Fast and easy sitemap editing cycles and sitemap dynamism are two
different things and belong to two very different concern islands.
