Sorry for the rename, I think we're getting off the original subject
though...

One caveat to your description Mark...

Not all CMS's support or require editing through the browser (or even
necessarily refer to websites, but that's a different issue).  Macromedia
makes a product called Contribute which is an offline CMS.  Also, a number
of Blog software packages support editing through external applications like
w.Bloggar which run on your system, I'm sure other CMS's support this kind
of interface as well.

content = web site text and graphics
management = add/edit/delete content via your browser.

Typically, the web site admin can define user/password login accounts 
for people that are allowed to edit the site.

Many systems provide control over editing capabilities; for example, 
your press agent login can only edit pages under http://yoursite.com//news.

More advanced systems allow you to define roles by login account; for 
example, "contributor" and "editor".  A contributor may upload content, 
but that content is not made live on your site until an editor approves it.

This site is great:

    http://www.opensourcecms.com/

They have free on-line demos for many many Free Software content 
managment systems; for example, the WordPress demo is here:
