You definitely could use S3! I think I view some advantages of using Config.ly as:

- Updating content is way simpler. Even non technical folks can do it. (and soon you'll have revision history)

- I think with the S3 library you can use HTTP caching; Config.ly can do smarter caching (e.g. if you fetch (a,b) and then just a, HTTP caching would fail).

If the goal is to give non-engineers the power to change copy, then giving marketing folks S3 access is a dangerous path.
