Well, when I submitted Geeklog to the CMS list of the German PHP-Magazin,
I had to leave quite a few fields blank ...

This Google translation should give you a rough idea (first column):

<http://translate.google.com/translat
e?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phpmag.de%2Fcms%2F&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=ISO-
8859-1&prev=%2Flanguage_tools>

Things like storing meta information, to-do lists for admins, exporting
content to different formats, etc. sound like good ideas to me.

This is one example of a more complex workflow that some CMS support,
yes. You could do something like this in 1.3.x now (using the draft flag
and permissions), but it's not very transparent. GL2 should support this,
IMO. We may need support for more than one submission queues to
accomplish this (or more state flags than just "draft").
