How is that different from a wiki? :-)

Mediawiki, the software behind Wikipedia, already has all those features, includeming the possibility of moderation by privileged users or automatic updates, on a per-page basis. You'd just need to use the software for blog content rather than encyclopedic content.

Every app is a CRUD app if you ignore enough detail.

I'm asking you about the details that make them different, and which you consider relevant for a "web with user contributions" in the way you described.

The difference is that those features would be implemented differently in a blogging context. I think that they're things that would improve a collaboration on blog to move from simply getting feedback from users as comments for the author to use to actually collaborating on something to make it better. I haven't thought about what those implementation differences would be; it'd be a lot of work.
