Try cloning using the git:// protocol, rather than http://

  git clone git://gitweb.adaptive.cs.unm.edu/org-S5.git

Ah, because they become formatted as list elements.  This makes sense,
I've reverted this part of my changes.  Thanks for clarifying.

Yes, these variables are bound by Org-mode during export.

The `org-s5-title-string-fmt' and `org-s5-title-page-fmt' variables can
be set in a user's .emacs or as file local variables.

Great, If I find the time I'll copy this example somewhere and link to
it from the worg page.

Agreed, I personally like it as a way to publish or distribute quick
presentation I've give with epresent [1].
