It's not about bells and whistles, it's about educating ourselves to base the functionality we create and propose to create for our clients upon best practices.

It's not about the color of the stucco, it's about the foundations.

" I'll add new newsletters or
white papers to the documents.shtml page, but that's about it. I would like
to add polls, a form-based e-mail capability for those who prefer to ask for
information that way rather than via regular e-mail, and -- perhaps -- the
ability to comment on issues raised in newsletters and white papers"

This justifies Drupal perfectly, but more important than which CMS framework you use, or even if you hand-craft it, is respect for the 40% changes in these requirements that will occur before the site is finished, and respect for best practices to be observed in all that we do, and the belief that in order to do this, we need to be involved in the community around the tools we use.
