I have been following this discussion with some interest as it may
provide the basis for something I am interested in doing as well.
I hope my discussion doesn't muddy the waters too much...

My case is similar. I teach a class each week and, so far, have created
two documents; a set of handouts and my notes for teaching. Generally
these documents start from the same original and I modify and expand the
notes I use for teaching while leaving the handouts a smaller doc for
those in the class to take their own notes from.
I don't use beamer as the handouts tend to be 6-8 pages of 'normal' text
as it is and my teaching notes are usually far larger. I don't want to
manipulate a stack of paper while teaching.

My case is similar but I don't 'expose' my teaching notes to the
students for a variety of reasons.

I guess my request is similar to what has been discussed above in that I
would *very* much like to maintain handouts and teaching material in the
same file and then export it to two different files as necessary. This
would make my job a lot easier to manage. I could decide which tables,
figures, text, etc are common to both docs and which are just for me and
everything happens automatically behind the scenes.
Beamer output is not critical for me (or even necessarily desired) right
now but I would like a way of marking some text for 'limited' export.
Using a special notation is not a problem if it gives me the ability to
maintain a single document that I can export to two different LaTeX/PDF
docs.
