Part of the excellent new book from Wrox, Real World SharePoint 2007: Indispensable Experiences from 16 MOSS & WSS MVPs, Andrew Connell details the alternative approach to developing SharePoint WCM solutions (aka Publishing Sites). This is related content to the BoF we co-presented at TechEd and essential reading for WCM developers. Get some. The rest of the book is pretty decent too!
