Mambo does not allow 'authors' to 'publish' - thus the site content is 
monitored & this is accepted as necessary.  However, a failing in this seems 
to be that once content has been published it can be freely edited by the 
original author - it is not locked down whilst in the 'published' state. This 
implies someone actively monitoring the published content.

The problem of uploading would involve an author making a request to an 
administrator to have a file uploaded so that the author could then continue 
to work on the content - I can imagine this would upset the workflow and we 
would need an army of volunteer administrators.

Is this legal?

This is not a problem (or did not ought to be) when all site navigation is 
managed by queries to the underlying database.
