What doesn't yet exist is truly distributed content editing. In this situation you would be able to synchronise (without any effort or even understanding of the process) your content between several remote but trusted machines (e.g. your PC, your work computer, your parents' computer, etc.) and edit it at any terminal (e.g. your laptop, at work, your PDA, etc.). The service providers would provide the seemless synchronisation mechanism and possibly on-line software as well, but the content would be distributed - not local or central.
Apart from the "without any effort or even understanding of the process" bit one can do this with a CM system running on your own Linux system at home if you make it accessible from the outside world.
I have a wiki (Twiki to be exact) and use it remotely to make notes, plan holidays, etc.
