Good stuff.
I’ve used what I call “frankensteins,” part wireframe, part real page elements for a while. Similar to what Steven points out,
assuming we are designing new areas for an existing site, we can use real headers, real images and even real visuals of form elements/text. I also agree with real explaination text, as lorem ipsum doesn’t transmit enough information to business users.

Zef Fugaz’s above comments are good too, these can be another step in different documentation that delivers to different needs. I’ve had to deliver upwards of 4 different “site/content maps” to a client, all valid “site/content maps” but all showing different perspectives of the data at hand. We sent different docs to different stakeholders that had different priorities.
