Thankyou, that looks really nice. It would be great for org to be able
to target an XHTML-based slide format like this in addition to beamer,
wouldn't it? It would require some work, but the XHTML structure below
seems encouragingly straightforward. Perhaps a relatively effortless
starting point would be dividing some of the new variables controlling
beamer export into general-presentation and beamer-specific sets
(e.g. the location of the slide and slide components in a subtree; I
know, I already said this...)

I'm pasting some relevant information from the Wikipedia entry below in
case anyone more knowledgable about org (X)HTML/XOXO export has any
thoughts.

From wikipedia:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
S5 (Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System) is an XHTML-based file
format for defining slideshows. It was created by Eric Meyer as an
alternative to the browser-centric Opera Show Format. S5 is not a
presentation program, but fulfills the same purpose in combination with
a standards-compliant web browser.

The text of an S5 presentation can be stored in a single XHTML
file. This file contains several slides which are coded in the following
way.

<div class="slide">
 <h1>slide title</h1>
 <ul>
   <li>the first point</li>
   <li>the second point</li>
   <li>the third point</li>
 </ul>
 <div class="handout">
  ... additional material that appears
     on the handout
 </div>
</div>

S5 presentations can be viewed in outline and slideshow mode – Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS) are used to define different layouts for outline,
slideshow and print. Navigation controls, a dynamically generated list
of slides and accesskeys allow browsing back and forth.

A more semantic version of the S5 format is based on the XOXO
microformat and uses <li class="slide"> instead of divs for the slides,
as well as <ol class="xoxo presentation"> instead of a div for the
overall presentation.
