I still don't have any better ideas than this to represent notes in Org for beamer presentations. Just writing \noe{...} as you suggest will certainly work - the disadvantage is that this does not make a lot of sense when exporting to other formats. One option would be to turn all those notes into footnotes for other export..... I'd really be interested to get more input on this issue. - Carsten
