Just this:

I've done four of five sites now for various things
which operate under local parts of *.gov.uk

Drupal's a nice platform to work with.  It does a
huge bunch of normal CMS stuff to begin with, and
it provides a static module API to enable any other
functionality you can think of.

Modules are placed in the right location and enabled.
No changes to the CMS itself are required.
