Oooh, now you're talking. No idea how you'll do it, but sounds good. ;)
One thing that appeals to me as a cms user, is the ability to share
users/passwords/privileges with other systems. I think that phpbb can
share users with zen cart. To me, this is very practical - in fact I'm
thinking of doing exactly this right now - as I'm more likely to want to
use different "specialty apps" for each section of a site. That's me
anyways.

Good.

> Document management
> Image Management
> Template engine - so the CMS can be easily customised

With regard to these last four points, have you thought of maybe
grabbing some wiki code and working from there?? Some wikis have these
features, but of course no real user & privilege system. May help to
prevent reinventing the wheel. Just a thought.....
