Gal Shachar is offering the hard sell on headless content management systems:

A truly headless CMS eliminates the head portion altogether, leaving just the back end. In other words, there’s no dedicated system for front-end presentation.

A good overview of alternative CMS-oriented web strategies. But headless introduces new problems for content wholly decoupled from the web. HTML has a job to do, and it does it well.
