I'm glad I'm not the only one with that 'flaw' ;).

Don't get me wrong, reveal is fine. It's just that I can't (within an
appropriate amount of time) produce a slide with the layout I
want (header at the top, footer at the bottom, content centered).

I guess that's the downside of using html. Every render engine has a
certain amount of degrees of freedom on how they can render a html
construct. To tackle that problem my idea was, as a first step, to
produce slides based on reveal.js. That way I can use features, that
might be handy when it comes to teaching stuff. And maybe (I don't have
numbers etc., so I can be totally wrong) it is more likely to have a
more or less decent web browser at hand than a pdf viewer, esp. when it
comes to mobile devices.
As a second step, I wanted to use decktape to generate a pdf file from
the html based slides. That gives me a format with a more reproducible
layout (assuming that the render engine in decktape generates the same
output for subsequent runs).

PS: I opened a bug report for org-reveal, asking for an approach to
tackel to my issue. Maybe someone is so kind and points me in the
right direction ;).
