Peter:

What do you mean by "controlling and delivering the source files for
privileged authors"?

Do you mean CMS functionality?

What about delivery to the user?

I have a feeling it's around the corner but not quite here yet....
although it maybe 
Real Soon Now...  

If you can wait a bit, I'd be looking for :

1. a DITA XML-based system, with 
2  a source control system based in a CMS that can
3. update an HTML site and PDF files from single source files, while
4. controlling and delivering the source files for privileged authors 

Meanwhile, give clients a nice thick paper reference guide and what
happens ? 
The monitor that sits on the desk gets to be set a little higher on a
paper mountain, 
or the broken table leg gets propped up.   Everyone is scared of that
much paper.
(ok, not quite everyone.... we had one client wanted the paper -- all 15
cms of it..)
