Certainly it would be a good battery for Webware have a simple CMS
kit that would be easy to set up for small sites (without a lot of
unused junk to get in the way) but hopefully scalable for larger
sites or expanding sites.  

I would like to see a CMS that handles standard HTML documents or
at least standard HTML document bodies.  I could use this in a
couple projects, although none that's urgent to start right away.
The thing is, when ppl already know HTML, or you're dealing with
outside authors that have already written an HTML article, it's
easier to use that as your source rather than insisting on some
"pure" XML or wiki format.  Yes, it causes complications for
converting the article body to another format later... *IF* that
ever becomes an issue for the particular application.  Maybe it
won't.

A flexible CMS with a configuration option to accept only HTML format,
or only wiki format, or the author's choice, or all in one document,
would be the best.  

It would also help to have an option of "accept the source format
without conversion and serve it as is without touching its internal
structure" alongside "convert the source document to an in-between
format so it's easy to reconvert into any output format."
