[whishlist] unified export template / property keys for presentations

Hello,

orgmode has a nice interface for specifying things like frames, blocks,
quotes etc with org-beamer-mode and the special access keys (C-c C-b).

Although these serve only latex-beamer - and since orgmode has a lot of
non-beamer export options for presentations - I was wondering if we could
have something like this:

1) a function 'org-insert-presentation-template' that allows for different
basic options like type of transition, default heading depth for slides,
toc and so on.

2) a special minor mode 'org-presentation-mode' where more options can be
used by providing keybindings for inserting properties.

The main idea behind this is that it is perfectly fine for most
presentations to define at what heading level slides are, what font and
what colors org should use. All these things are basically similar in all
export backends for presentations and could therefore be handled by the
same set of options.

I guess that 80% of what the style and structure of a presentation consists
of would be covered by this, regardless of whether it is going to be a
beamer, s5, or reveal.js presentation.

This would make creating presentations a lot more user friendly. Because it
should not really matter whether or not I understand all the latex markup
that the export to beamer has to handle or the the html when using another
presentation export backend - for producing a quick and still nice-looking
presentation from an org-file.

What do you think?
